I'm fired up on:

travel writing, medieval history, teaching English, dancing, rock climbing, mountaineering, photography, green spaces, learning new things - especially languages

Ayo Visto lo Mappamundi - best travel song ever.

I travel alone with one suitcase (the Red Oxx SkyTrain), a laptop, and entirely too many books.

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

While sitting down, eating good food, drinking good wine, and passionately discussing anything with my local friends.

Why I travel:

I can't sit still! I'm always on the path to doing things bigger, better, and bolder than I've done them before. Call it Greatness ADD.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

From my kitchen window on the 19th floor of a London high-rise, standing with a cup of tea.

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

Cape of Good Hope, South Africa

Before I die I'd like to:

Be truly happy, and know that I've contributed to the happiness of others.

Let's collaborate:

I'm a travel writer, freelance copy editor, budding photographer, and English teacher looking to collaborate with other writers and photographers around the world.
