I AM NEW TO THIS

Dear visitors of this blog,


I am a polyglot and would love to write in 6 different languages, but alas it is so time consuming. I have decided, though, to start up some writings here about my past travels. 


Fifteen years ago there were no blogs, but fortunately I sometimes kept a diary. 


Out of the very few diaries I will publish some anecdotes or fragments. You will be able to read and hopefully enjoy some of the read, even if it happened back in 1989 or earlier.


It is hard to find a publisher for my book, which I have finished last year, about my experiences with Brazilian Indians. 


Not many people in the Old World care to read about the indigenous peoples of South America, I was told by an English publisher, and so perhaps, some of the content here maybe of  interest to someone in the field of travel literature, short stories or cultural anthropology?


I am new and hope for the best that my blogs will generate enough interest to be followed and read.
I used to be very fast, -my mum used to call me the Flying Dutchman, because I ran her errands so fast. 


Nowadays, I have slowed down a bit; that comes with the wear and tear of thirty years of travelling, however my lips still tend to speak quicker than my my mind can think...so bear with me if I stumble sometimes over unexpected hurdles.


Until later


Yours


Alann
