Award-winning freelance travel writer, specialising in adventure and culture travel, perception-changing and encouraging people to travel responsibly and with a positive social impact. Lonely Planet guidebook author and digital contributor, and bylines in National Geographic, the Guardian, Independent, Sunday Times and Wizz Magazine.

My website, Borders of Adventure, is a leading travel resource with insight into the social, historical, political and economic factors that shape the country or place in relation to tourism, in the attempt to overcome common misconceptions. It has been running for 15 years. If travelling to a well-established or popular destination, Borders of Adventure aims to try and find a different angle on it in order to entice readers to dig a little deeper and see more of it outside of the ‘must-do’ lists.
