Nicos Hadjicostis studied physics at King's College London and then managed the largest media group in Cyprus for over a decade. After leaving the media, he traveled around the world for six-and-a-half years, exploring the world as if it were one huge country, a single destination. His first book, the award-winning Destination Earth: A New Philosophy of Travel by a World-Traveler, was inspired by this journey. His second book, Conversing with Cavafy: Reflections on the Journey of Our Life, explores themes that are central to our everyday life and connects them with the poems of C.P. Cavafy, other writers and philosophers. He is now a writer of mainly philosophical essays and gives talks on various subjects, many of which can be found on his website NicosHadjicostis.com. This is his third book.
