I recently came across this interesting article in the Times, it’s about one author who discovers islands and naturally, falls in love. In the authors island expedition he visits, Sark, The Seychelles, Vancouver Island, San Juan, and Eilean Shona in Scotland.  Here is a segment from the article.

I fell in love with small islands when Arthur Ransome transported me to Wild Cat Island in Swallows and Amazons. Since then, several of my top-ten travel experiences have been on islands you can walk (or at least cycle) around in an afternoon.

A small island makes for a magical holiday, giving you plenty to explore along with the satisfaction of getting fully to grips with the geography. Such havens are less enjoyable when you are working as a journalist. True, it is easier to find the people who you want to talk to. But there is also no escape from the people you would rather avoid.
