Judy Yorke

Judy Yorke is a journalist, copywriter, editor and writing tutor who loves to travel.

Some of her fondest memories are of interrail holidays taken as a student. She loaded her rucksack with too many books, stayed in youth hostels and lived on bread, cheese and ice-cream.

Last summer, she interrailed again, this time with her husband and two teenage sons. She loved it so much she wrote a book about it.

Her first book, Crowded Platforms and Window Seats, is for people who wonder what interrailing is really like.

With a chapter on her first trip in 1988, it's also for those who interrailed themselves back in the day and would like to reminisce.

It's for anyone who wants to enjoy travel for travel's sake, who would rather gaze out of a train wind

Lisa is happiest outside in her huerta weeding, watching the antics of her chickens, or in her kitchen cooking interesting recipes on her wood burning range.
