Superb images and quality travel writing

Looking for someone to revise/write a travel guidebook or produce a smart phone app? Paul has written and revised guidebooks for several major publishers and is always happy to consider new projects. He has recently written 'Rome: The Eternal Destination for Serendib', the in-flight magazine of SriLankan Airlines and helped update the 2012 Michelin Green Guides for Normandy and 2013 Brittany.  Version 1.6 of his top-selling smart phone app Dordogne Explorations is available on the Apple Store  and also the Android Market.  His latest app 'Provençal Roaming' (see review here) is now available and Paul is currently writing a new app entitled 'Nice & Beyond' which features not only the city itself but also the fabulous Pays Arrière Niçois, the mountainous area just to the north.
