About
Welcome. This site is written and maintained by Donald Strachan. My professional site explains a bit about who I am. Basically, I’m a travel writer with a particular interest in and knowledge of Italy, Tuscany and Umbria above all. My travel guidebooks have won awards. All the words and pictures here are mine, as is all the research.
The Big Idea is that the site becomes a useful trip-planning tool for travellers to Tuscany and Umbria. As you can see, I’m really, really not there yet. And, yes, that’s an understatement. If you have any feedback about the site or any of my guidebooks, or questions about a visit to Tuscany or Umbria, please leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you, and will do my best to answer as swiftly as possible. There’s more about me at Donald Strachan’s professional website.
I hope you find the site useful in planning (or dreaming about) your travels to this special corner of Europe.
(Oh, and if you’re looking for an expert on Tuscany and Umbria to write you something informative and inspired, then do get in touch.)
