'A wealth of practical information.' The Yorkshire Post
Paul Brummell, a career diplomat, is British Ambassador to Latvia, where he spends his free time exploring this fascinating country with his wife Adriana and son George. He loves both the pristine forests, marshes and beaches of Latvia and the way its buildings and monuments chronicle the complex history of the country. He is also fast becoming an expert on cottage cheese-related desserts, which are a much-loved element of Latvian cuisine. He previously served as British Ambassador to Turkmenistan and to Kazakhstan (and non-resident Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan), High Commissioner to the countries of the eastern Caribbean, and Ambassador to Romania. In 2016 he was awarded the CMG for services to British foreign policy. Brummell is also an accomplished travel writer. He is the author of Bradt guides to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, and co-author of the guide to Transylvania. He has also written Diplomatic Gifts: a history in fifty presents.
