Introduction

If you're looking for a writer who covers the same old destinations that appear in every other magazine or articles that follow a dull guidebook style template, alas I'm not the writer you're looking for. However if you're seeking an insight into oft-overlooked spots or a new twist on an old favourite, check out my clippings and email me immediately! I've travelled extensively in Latin America, Africa, Asia and western Europe, visiting 42 countries to date. My current trip has lead me through the UAE, India, Nepal, China (where I will remain for the Olympics) and will eventually take me to North Korea before heading to Canada for the next 12 months. Can't wait to start writing for you!

Experience & Expertise

I write on topics as varied as Sumo for beginners, feeding hippos, getting spiritual, ESL, voluntourism, wildlife encounters for the terrified... I travel widely and can offer a wealth of fresh, lively articles with pics. Contact me - I might just have what you're looking for!
