About @ADAMYAMEY
72 years old • Male • Author and retired dental surgeon
*****************************************
I LOVE TRAVELLING AND READING ABOUT TRAVEL.
I enjoy sharing travel experiences with others.
I am a retired dentist as well as an author. I love mainly in LONDON (UK). My second home is BANGALORE in India. I am married, and we have one child.
I have written (and published) books about Albania, the former Yugoslavia, Sicily, Italy, India, and South Africa.
I have visited a number of countries. Of these my favourites are the Balkans (especially Albania), India, Italy, and the UK.
I joined Travellerspoint once I knew that Virtual Tourist was to be discontinued. I am finding this website it hospitable and user-friendly, especially the ability to produce nice looking blog pages.
I look forward to meeting you!

London
I have lived in London most of my life, and explore it like a tourist whenever I have spare time!
Ask ADAMYAMEY a question about London.
Albania
I have visited Albania twice (1984 & 2016), and have written three books about the Albanians. I would love to try to help members planning to visit Albania, and to dsicuss the country with those who have been.
Ask ADAMYAMEY a question about Albania.
Bangalore
I have been visiting Bangalore/Bengaluru once or twice a year since 1994. My in-laws live there, and I have many local (Bangalore) friends. Being keen on sight-seeing and exploring, I have got to know the city well both as a tourist and a kind of temporary local. In brief, Bangalore is my second home! I hope that I can provide assistance.
