Avoiding the sacred cows in travel writing

Photo of Pushkar by Nick Kenrick. How to write about your travels in foreign lands without putting your foot in it I STARTED TRAVEL writing when I travelled in India for six months in 2005 / 2006. I fell in love with the country, the culture and the people, and wrote from my heart. I never attempted to be objective, but to be honest about what I felt and saw, within the bounds of a respectful attitude.
