Best Living Best ResourcesJoe Fullman has lived in London for just over 37 years - that is, all his life. As far as he's concerned, its the best city in the world, and having workedas a travel writer for more than a decade, he's had the opportunity to compare it to some very distinguished rivals. Joe gained a degree in history from University College London, and soon after began his writing career at Cadogan Guides. Following a couple of years spent updating existing titles, he was giventhe chance to write a new family travel guide to London, Take the Kids London. Its success led to Cadogan asking him to write further guides (England, Paris, Costa Rica and Belize) and to his being offered the authorship of a new Popout Cityguide to London, published by Compass Maps (and latterly by AA). Over the last dozen years, Joe has visited and written about a whole host of exoticlocales for a number of distinguished guide book publishers. These have included Rough Guides (Central America, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, The Caribbean and Italy) and Lonely Planet (Turkey). He has also written educational guides to Brazil and Japan, published by QED. However, despite these destinations many and numerous charms, Joe continues to live in - and try to find the cheapest ways to thrive in - London.
