I’m a British travel writer, broadcast journalist and public speaker working across a wide range of themes and subjects. If it involves travel, intriguing people and an untold story, then I’m interested.

I’ve reported on product shortages in Venezuela, the ‘migrant crisis’ in Greece, social inequality in the barrios of Northern Colombia and climate change in the high Andes and Svalbard.

I’ve paraglided solo through the Andes, hiked up Bali’s highest volcanoes and driven a rickshaw the length of India.

I’ve reported from over 100 countries in the past decade – from Bhutan and French Polynesia to Patagonia and Namibia.

Between March 20th and July 30th 2016 I embarked on my toughest story yet – to sail and cycle from China to London in 133 days.
