Traveler's Adventures With Linda Heslegrave

Barbara Conelli interviews adventurer Linda Heslegrave.

Linda Heslegrave has two passions – travel and reading.  Her favourite quote: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” (St. Augustine).  She travels with passport, toothbrush, books, credit card, local cash and some clothes.  Her memories are her photos.  She lives in Toronto, Canada.

Linda’s itchy feet have taken her to all continents except Antarctica.   She regularly returns to New York City, London, the south of France and Spoleto, Italy.  She wants to revisit Denmark, Nepal, Australia, Puerto Escondido, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Istanbul and Fez.  She loves the vibrancy of Mexico City.   Linda’s wish list includes Vietnam, Argentina, Chile, Japan, Jordan, the Faroe Islands and the Canadian High Arctic.  She wants to attend performances at all the great opera houses.  There’s always another page in the book.  Linda spends her downtime in Muskoka, Ontario, reading travel books and researching her next trip.

Linda is a Canadian Representative for Martin Randall Travel (MRT).  MRT is the leading specialist in cultural holidays, organising a unique series of all-inclusive music festivals and around 220 small-group tours every year in the UK and Europe, Middle East, India, Africa and North America. www.martinrandall.com
