Writing the Bradt Travel Guide to Tunisia - Full Author Q&A on life in Tunisia

Back in June 2023 my publisher (Bradt Guides) collected questions from their followers on social media about my latest project: writing the Bradt Travel Guide to Tunisia (1st Edition), which was published worldwide in July 2023. Join me for a 40 minute Q&A session as I answer all your questions about travel writing and Tunisia posed on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Plus, look out for a bonus cameo from my three-legged katousa Lydia!
