Paul Hague's World Travels

Between 1993 and 2002 Paul Hague explored the world, both as an independent traveller
and also as “VSO” volunteer working for a selection of charities. Fortunately his adventures,
his encounters (both humorous and alarming) and his insights have been recorded
in a rich collection of emails he sent to his friends, and in Paul's travel journals.
The writings are arranged in two groups below, and they introduce the reader
to some wonderful characters, give glimpses into life in some exotic foreign parts,
and allow the reader to travel with, and get to know the inimitable Paul Hague.

The VSO Placements 1999 - 2020

For some years following his retirement from his life's work as
Youth and Community Worker for the Culm Valley, Devon
Paul Hague looked to indulge his passions for adventurous travel and
for engaging with people in his positive and helpful way.
Offering his services to Voluntary Service Overseas in Africa and in
Papua New Guinea provided the opportunity for just such a mixture.
His occasional entertaining emails to his more sedentary friends
back in England provide the material for this website.
We have persuaded Paul to make these fascinating emails available here
for anyone interested in VSO, adventure, cultural diversity
and learning what the hell Paul was getting up to during those years that
he was not available to join our social gatherings,
where he oft was toasted. “Here's to Paul!”
