What's this episode about:

Stewart Gatsi talks about his global travels and why he decided to write his travel memoir. He explains that people can go to the same place and see the same things but experience them in a totally different way. He wanted to share his experience. 

We talk about his influences, how he wrote his memoir and the role journalling played, where he finds his beta readers and his musical career. 

Stewart’s book, Rough Guide To Planet Earth, chronicles his adventures and misadventures starting out in Zimbabwe, then subsequently migrating to the U.S, Cyprus, Dubai, and ultimately a return to Zimbabwe after almost a decade of living abroad. Ensuing events eventually lead to him travelling yet again, with experiences taking him through South Africa, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
