About

A writer and blogger. I travel to find good food, explore new places and pet all of the dogs. I try to live sustainably and love hiking and the outdoors.

Home airports

Manchester.

My travel style

I travel to seek out wild spaces and friendly faces. Whether it’s diving aircraft wrecks in Jordan, spotting blue whales off the coast of Sri Lanka or searching for orangutans in the deep jungle of Borneo, it usually involves animals in one way or another. I travel on a budget so I can travel further and for longer, using travel hacks and tricks of the trade to find unmissable experiences and under-the-radar places. I also know where to get the best Aperol Spritz in Venice!

One thing I can't travel without...

Yorkshire Tea – I am English after all.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I have driven a coach from London to Istanbul (and back). 

  2. I've dived with sharks in the Galapagos Islands and Manta Rays in Fiji. 

  3. I trained my Jack Russell to ride a skateboard.
