I'm a freelance travel writer from England. On this web site I'd like to tell you about myself, introduce some samples of my work and share a few photos from my travels. I will be adding new articles as I write them, so if you like what you read, please check back from time to time.
As you'll see, I write for many of the national newspapers in the UK as well as other publications and guidebooks. Although I've covered stories on five continents, I tend to specialise in writing about Japan and southeast Asia.
If you'd like me to contribute to your publication, please get in touch using the contact form. That way, I might be able to avoid getting a proper job!
Please also send me any comments or suggestions and share your own travel experiences. I'm always happy to swap a few travel anecdotes: after all, as John Lennon put it, time you enjoy wasting is not wasted.
Thanks for taking the time to visit these pages
