Since 2001, I have published widely on Balkan and Mediterranean travel, history, culture, economics, politics, security and current events, in a wide variety of media- from books, newspapers and magazines to websites, wire services and subscription-based specialist publications.
The Select Articles page has some personal favorites and other relevant articles on a broad range of topics.
Besides projects in process, like Lonely Planet Greece, Greek Islands, Crete, Eastern Europe and Europe on a Shoestring (all due out in 2011 and 2012) am currently working on an interesting new work that will be published in July 2014… more news later!
