WELCOME TO
Fellow Traveller
W
elcome to Nomads Secrets and our second edition of Fellow Traveller.
In this eMag there are a variety of stories that might whet your appetite for a future adventure. I was recently in Dharamsala in northern India. It is the home of the Tibetan Government in Exile. Later this year 20 nuns are going to receive the highest degree in Tibetan Buddhism from the Dalai Lama. I am planning to take a small party of women to witness this historic event and also to enjoy a very special trip in India. Elsewhere photojournalist Tony Sernack takes you inside the imposing world of the Maharana of Udaipur and the Mewar Dynasty while Ken Boundy, a former head of Tourism Australia, writes about the ancient forests of the magnificent Tarkine on Tasmania’s west coast.
Last year we were in Italy, travelling from the heel right up to Venice by car, a journey of around 4000kms. Outside Alba in Piedmont we went truffle hunting and I have written a little about that wonderful experience. In May next year we have a trip going to Tanzania and Zanzibar in conjunction with Luxury Travel Magazine and lead by journalist Lisa Doust. It is a great itinerary so if you have always wanted to see East Africa this could be for you. We have also added some new features that will become regular elements of the magazine so I really hope you enjoy this edition of Fellow Traveller. Best wishes Lucia O’Connell
