      About the Author

Image

      Originally from the West Midlands, Laurence Mitchell has been based in East Anglia for longer than he cares to remember. With a degree in Environmental Science, he worked as a geography teacher for many years before finally reinventing himself as a freelance travel writer and photographer. Never one to follow the crowd, Laurence is especially interested in off-the-beaten-track destinations such as the Balkans, Central Asia and the Caucasus region, and has written guidebooks to Serbia, Belgrade and Kyrgyzstan, as well as Slow Norfolk and Slow Suffolk for Bradt Travel Guides. When not venturing off to exotic destinations abroad he likes to explore his own backyard of Norfolk and Suffolk, a region he enjoys just as much as anywhere else.

      In addition to writing several guidebooks, Laurence has contributed to a number of travel anthologies and provides regular travel and destination features for magazines including Hidden Europe, Geographical, Walk and Heritage, in addition to writing world music reviews for Perceptive Travel webzine. He is a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers. Find out more at the author's website, www.laurencemitchell.com and his blog, https://eastofelveden.wordpress.com
