Chuffed to be shortlisted for an AITO Travel Writer of the Year award for my Conde Nast Traveller feature on fact, fiction and fantasy in Patagonia half a century on from Bruce Chatwin’s seminal travelogue.

‘They say in a nuclear war only cockroaches and the Swiss will survive.’ An atmospheric and occasionally unnerving day exploring the Sasso San Gottardo, a former WW2- and Cold War-era military base tunnelled into the side of a mountain high in the Swiss Alps.

Happy publication day, Taj 🎉
