Mrs767 and I found the article very interesting

his early “Europe Through the Back Door” book/s made a huge splash, and contained a wealth of information that was both useful and well-presented … from our perspective, they’re a lot more objective than many of the “granola/hippie” guides; he scarcely mentions high-end stuff, but I don’t think he dismisses anyone who prefers lie-flats and 4- or 5-star service establishments either

he’s more recently done a handful of tv productions in a similar style
