Journalism
I’m a published travel journalist with pieces in major national publications and a big old blog about travelling India. The world of travel journalism may be changing, but the sentiment remains the same. Let's adapt and in doing so, engross new, once-unattainable audiences.

I'm in India and, as you'd expect, there's a hell of a lot to see here. let alone write about. As such, I'm detailing my adventures in my Substack, The Disorient Express.

There's something rather romantic about the Cyclades, but by jove, doesn't everyone think the same. This piece for the Daily mail discusses why visitors should head to Paros before the influencers invade like the Romans and Venetians. It might be too late...

04
Have you ever spent a night in a monastery deep in Bulgaria's Rila Mountains? Well, you should. In this Daily Mail piece I explain why this often overlooked Eastern European country deserves its place in the spotlight.
05
You can tell I was reading a lot of Hunter S Thompson and Gonzo journalism at this point. Perhaps the best six days of my life? I've calmed down a little since...
06
The world's most futuristic island nation isn't just big buildings and bankers. It is truly a food paradise fusing influences from across the great continent of Asia. My ode to Hawker Centres.
07
Deep in the Romanian countryside, we follow the footsteps of Vlad the Impaler sighting Roman ruins and 17th century clocktowers on the way. Before a Halloween party in Dracula's Castle, of course.
08
1,108 camels seems like a lot, right? Well, particularly in the -25 degree Gobi desert when they're all breaking a World Record for the largest camel race of all time.
09
When its 30 under, you'd be forgiven for not wanting to visit Mongolia. In this piece for the UB Post, I talk to two men trying to change the future of the winter tourism industry in the world's coldest country.
