Things have been quiet at Ginger Beirut this week but I thought I’d let you in on one of the projects going on behind the scenes linked to my travel writing which is due to surface here shortly.

As a travel blogger featured by Lonely Planet in their BlogSherpa programme, I am collaborating with a diverse network of travellers across the world on an exciting project. 40 of these BlogSherpas will soon launch an ebook of photos taken from around the globe, introducing a selection of writers and photographers and their take on the world. You’ll be able to download the ebook via Ginger Beirut and via Lonely Planet shortly.
