Morton, Owen: - Owen Morton is never happier than when exploring new places, with a particular fondness for wandering the former Soviet world and the Middle East. He is the author of numerous guidebooks, including The Rough Guide to Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, The Pocket Rough Guide to Pembrokeshire and The Pocket Rough Guide to Orkney, as well as updates to guides to other destinations ranging from Jordan to the Philippines. His favourite animal is the wonderfully expressive and permanently furious manul. Follow him on Instagram at @owenmortonmanul.
