"I donâ€™t keep a travel diary. I did keep a travel diary once and it was a big mistake. All I remember of that trip is what I bothered to write down. Everything else slipped away, as though my mind felt jilted by my reliance on pen and paper. For exactly the same reason I donâ€™t travel with a camera. My holiday becomes the snapshots and anything I forget to record is lost."
