At the top of the 4,800 metre Showr Pass in the Pamir Mountains Afghanistan
Award-winning travel journalist Tracey Croke is an expert in following whims and getting lost. Her woeful map-reading skills are overlooked as long as she brings back a good story.
Special interests in bike-gallivanting and stereotype-squashing have seen her hike through the mountains of post-conflict Afghanistan, search for rideable mountain bike tracks in the Ethiopian Highlands and get rescued by nomads in Kyrgyzstan’s Talas Range
