The Author

Jens Peters studied advertising, communications and arts education in Berlin, Germany.

Since 1970 he has travelled several months each year in countries outside Europe. So

far he has visited the Philippines (his favourite country in South-East Asia) more than

60 times and spent over 12 years there all together. In 1977 he began travel writing and

has since worked as a freelance journalist for various travel magazines and published

several books about tropical countries. His guidebook on the Philippines was first

published in 1979 in German and has been updated constantly. He now publishes the

English edition himself as the Philippines Travel Guide.
