Simon has been travelling extensively since soon after he was born. Arriving in the world in New York City he was swiftly carted off to Australia, where he lived in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney - a collective journey of some 12,000km, given how vast that country is. He is increasingly keen on travelling to the most inaccessible of places, partly because they illustrate what is so great about travel for a writer - that it is such a bountiful source of material. When not trying to get to Sao Tome and Principe or Kurdistan, he likes sitting in cafes in Trieste or, boringly enough, Paris.
