Hi to all you travel addicts! - I'm one of the 3 co-founders of addictedtotravel.com. Since a then adventurous cycle ride from York to Istanbul over two decades ago I've been addicted to travel ever since. Africa remains my passion, though I've been lucky enough to travel far and wide.
As well as travelling and spending as much time as possible with my family I enjoy cycling, walking, photography, wildlife, exotic people, remote places and volcanoes!
Guide books.
Ipod with as much variety as possible.

For a full day trip from Marrakech, Essaouira is hard to beat - fabulous seafood, an atmospheric old medina, great shopping and huge beach. Don't miss the open-air fish stalls or a walk along the city ramparts.
Pole Pole is one of my favourite African escapes. With a breathtaking location overlooking Chole Bay, and a really chilled atmosphere and all the home comforts necessary, Pole Pole is a real place of relaxation. De-stress, take a massage, do nothing - dive, fish, snorkel, read, drink, eat and be mer...

Hi Nick - yep, I'm over there for 3 days next week. Should be a great trip!
Not been in touch for a while.
Thanks for your message. I have sent emails to the companies listed for Uganada and Rwanda. Is there only one company that you know of that goes to Rwanda? I plan on doing a Gorilla Trek in both countries, white-water rafting, visiting a couple of orphanages, and spending time in some of the parks hiking and seeing other primates. I'd love to do a a short jaunt to Ethiopia as well if I can get a bit more time off of work. What is the shortest amount of time you think I will need for a taste?. I will do a longer visit later on. Are there specific recommendations you would have for me. Thanks again! Elisa
Sent you an email - hopefully you got it!Let me know what you want doing when you've a spare moment!
Nick, was great to meet you personally - hope the whole concept of ATT flourishes, as now you have thousands of mailing list - you guys were really busy during destinations!
