| ''We
need to travel. If we don't offer ourselves to the unknown,
our senses dull, our world becomes small, and we lose our
sense of wonder. Our eyes don't lift to our horizon; our ears
don't hear the sound around us. Our experience is restricted,
as we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable
and limiting....''

Lizzie Wood is a freelance journalist
who specialises in travel writing. She has enjoyed a privileged
travel history, which started at the age of 19 when she backpacked
across China’s diverse countryside – a trip which fuelled
her passion for photographic travel journalism. Since flying
out of Hong Kong in 2001, Lizzie has taken pleasure in travelling
to often undiscovered parts of the world, including a unique
month spent in the suffocating confines of North West Greenland’s
periglacial settlements. More recently, Lizzie has enjoyed
independently travelling to India’s West coast and touring
Egypt on her own terms. Lizzie frequently takes advantage
of short breaks to Europe, and a world-wide family means she
flies regularly to America’s commercial capital, New York.
As a Geography graduate, Lizzie’s articles are well researched,
and written with an understanding of the regions’ cultures,
environment and history, as well as an appreciation of modern
conflicts and events, that aims to inspire as well as inform.
With a career history in marketing, Lizzie has written copy
for magazines and Web sites, her travel articles and reviews
are now published by Local Secrets on a regular
basis, and she is a registered contributor for farandfurther.com
and cosmotourist.com. In May 2008, Lizzy
won the Urchin Travel Writing Competition 2008, with her article,
Observing Brighton.


Currently based in the Cambridge region, Lizzie can be contacted
by either phone or e-mail.
