Travels With My Briefcase

It is a great truth of modern life that businessmen today are the world's most accomplished travellers. Like Marco Polo, the business traveller has a purpose; he is a man with a mission. Not for him a simple trawl through tourist hell - his experiences are authentic, driven by career rather than courier. Consequently, the adventurous nature of such trips is never forced - the Hindu Kush, Amazonian jungle or Kalahari hold no fears for those who have faced the Tokyo underground in rush hour. In TRAVELS WITH MY BRIEFCASE Peter Biddlecombe introduces us to the world of the business traveller, stumbling across the humorous and the bizarre in the most unexpected places - like Switzerland - and generally proving that you don't have to be a student, aesthete or one-eyed skate-boarder to experience the thrill and excitement of exploring the world.
