Graeme Philipson has
been traveling the world for business and pleasure for 40 years. He has worked
in or visited most of the Top 100 countries and been to quite a few others.
In his long career as one of the world's leading tech
industry journalists and market analysts he developed a unique perspective on
Planet Earth. His worldview is informed by a deep knowledge of the history
and culture of the countries he has visited. He conceived the idea of the Top
100 Countries index based on similar rating systems he has devised for
commercial use in the sustainability, local government and home automation
sectors.
GP, as he is universally known, has also written a number of
major studies on the restaurant industry and published a book of original
poems.

meet fabulous people, and have a really good time," he says. He now
devotes his life to travel and writing about the places he has been.
His mission, which he has chosen to accept, is to work out
where on earth to go next. And to help others do the same. "Why
go where?" is the eternal question.
