Hi, my name is Kevin ~ I am "The Walking Critic", a name once bestowed upon me by a gaggle of fellow hacks, when I was a newspaper journalist and writer in the US of A. I will get into that story another time. But I kind of liked that tag, so I kept it, as my nom de plume.

Clearly, I am no model or YouTube blogger. And nor am I here to strut my stuff and flex my pecs. Far from it. I will leave that up to the surreal world of silicon parts and pouted lips.

My craft comes in the form of words. I feel they are slightly more appealing, than tons of gluttonous meat squeezed into bathers and bikinis.

In 35 years, I have helped thousands of travellers make a decision on where to holiday. I may not be ready for a statue yet, but I am a travel and cruise expert, grey hair and all.

In my guise as The Walking Critic, I seek to entertain both you and myself. Hello.....I go to these places every day!

My mission is to share my passion for travel, through informative reviews and first-hand experiences. To take you on epic journeys, from fantastic hotels and adventure cruises, to total nightmares. From sky scrapers to war bunkers.

If I make you smile, then I have achieved my goal. And we are all the better for it.
