Schweitzer Klassifikation
Kelly Pipes is a British writer and editor who, quite happily, dedicated her editorial career to the travel genre from the outset. Various projects for guidebook publishers and holiday companies have sent her all over, from glitzy launches of gargantuan cruise ships to stalking vintage trams on a wet weekend. More at home practising yoga or swimming in the ocean than transport spotting, she perfected her scuba skills as well as the downward-facing dog whilst working on this book in Dahab. Yoga-diving is next on the agenda.
