Welcome

I’m an award-winning travel writer, editor and photographer, specialising in Africa, the Atlantic islands, the Indian Ocean islands and Australia.

I write for Rough Guides, The Independent and Travel Africa magazine, and contribute to numerous other travel publications, both in print and online. Much of my published work is illustrated with my own photography, shot on location.

As an editor, I handle commissioning, picture editing and project management for book, magazine and web publishers. I have a particular interest in projects relating to responsible, eco-friendly independent travel, including wildlife-watching, cultural tourism and community tourism.

“many, many things draw me to Africa”

Many, many things draw me to Africa: the diverse cultures and rich ecology, of course, but also the fact that it’s an ancient continent poised on the brink of change. African lifestyles have already altered a great deal in the fifteen or so years I've been visiting.

From my base in the UK, I fly south on a regular basis, and have so far travelled through over twenty countries in North, West, East and southern Africa. I have also covered many of Africa’s islands, including the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Cape Verde Islands and Mauritius.

“for the Rough Guide to East Coast Australia, I made an epic overland journey through some of Australia’s most stunning locations”

One of my most recent projects as a Rough Guides author took me to the other side of the globe for a brand new guide to East Coast Australia.

To research this book, I made an epic overland journey through some of Australia’s most stunning locations, from the lush tropical rainforest and coral cays of Far North Queensland, to the cosmopolitan cities of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne - with plenty of side-trips to dive the Great Barrier Reef along the way.
