Hilary Bradt -Taking the Risk at Waterstones Canterbury

Hilary started backpacking half a century ago, before mobile phones or the internet had been invented. Barely into her twenties, she thumbed lifts around the Middle East for three months After she pioneered a new path to Machu Picchu, she founded a groundbreaking travel guide company. Bradt Guides are still the only guides to places like Zanzibar, Albania, Armenia, Gabon, Benin, Uzbekistan and Haiti.
Arrested multiple times, Hilary is firmly in the Dervla Murphy tradition of quietly astonishing women travellers .

‘Bradt guides are authoritative, well informed and, above all, thoroughly tempting’ – Michael Palin.
