Specialist subjects and destinations

My main interests include independent travel, covering backpacking, off-the-beaten-track holidays, cultural tours and sightseeing. I also have extensive experience of adventure travel and activities, especially trekking, snowboarding, surfing, mountain biking and white-water rafting. Having worked on a travel website, I also have a good knowledge of online and off-line travel issues.

I've travelled extensively across four continents and have an in-depth knowledge of the following countries: United Kingdom, Spain, France, Portugal, USA, Canada, Morocco, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

My last big trip took me through Mexico and Central America, stopping off in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Along the way I visited Mayan ruins, climbed volcanoes, browsed colourful markets, trekked in deserts, canyons and jungles, attended Spanish school, surfed Pacific breaks and generally sampled the cultures of local communities and the backpacking scene.

See Future trips for details of destinations I'm visiting and subjects I'm working on during my current trip.
