Award-winning Tenerife travel writer, I’ll have you know!

By Joe | November 12, 2007

Well there’s a turnip for the books.

More Ketchup than Salsa, my book about swapping a career in fish entrails on Bolton fish market for a life as a British bar owner in Tenerife was voted ‘Best Travel Narrative 2007′ at the British Guild of Travel Writers’ swanky awards ceremony held at the Savoy in London last night.

That means I can now officially tag myself as ‘award-winning travel writer’. It also means I’m a fair bit of cash happier, and my mother is as proud as a proud thing.

I’d like to thank…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Congratulations Joe!
    Does this mean that the folks on Bolton fish market will now be selling fishy tails(ouch)to The Sun?!

    Congratulations to one of our best travel writers! And now it’s not just me saying that - but the WORLD!

    Good one old chap, and richly deserved. Now, when you gonna let Holmag run some excerpts a la Daily Mail serialisation?

    Hi Joe
    As a travel writer do you get to enjoy the wonderful walking trails all over Tenerife? We British need to get out more and not just leave it to the Germans!

    Hi Malcolm
    Yes, I head for the hills as often as I can. You’re right, it’s a shame more people don’t experience the rural side of the island.
