The Travelling Psychologist

The Travelling Psychologist – Introduction

When starting to write this book I really wanted to entertain my University students in China who in most cases will never travel outside their own country. While they all talked of travel most have a life plan that does not allow them to do so. The culture of China is about family and not adventure. However I quickly found myself with 11 short stories of anecdotal travel adventures and so decided to publish them to a wider audience. This is not your usual travel book about one person’s journey into the wilderness, or a humour based travelogue paid for by some airline or Holiday Company but a collection of true stories that happened to me while travelling around the world from place to place. They are not in time order, (in fact I deliberately left out dates) but as I told them to my students, some are amusing, some about life and some about tragedy but all about what you can come across travelling from place to place, working, researching and just being there.

I want to thank my students in China for allowing me to amuse them with my stories and so many others, Margaret my ex-wife who travelled with me in some of the earlier stories, and my second partner Judith who came with me in some of the later ones. Some of the time I travelled alone and will hopefully continue to do so in the future.

This book is dedicated to Kerry, Josie and Elle my three ladies.
