Linda has been a traveller all her life, thanks to a father in the armed forces and a particularly virulent case of itchy feet. After ten years in advertising in Tasmania, she relocated in 2007 to Scotland, lured by the skirl of the pipes and the swirl of the kilts, and is now happily exploring the nooks and crannies of Europe and the UK. Her articles have appeared in the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, The Daily Mail and The Australian. Linda also blogs (sporadically and eclectically) at gannell.blogspot.com.
