Originally hailing from the Pommy countryside, I first realised my love for the road after hitch-hiking round Canada on a diet of rum and baked beans. With money gained from cleaning the soiled hotel rooms, I set off for New Zealand, bought a van and spent a good year or so lost in 'Lord of the Rings' landscapes. From there I went on to work in the Finnish Arctic, trekking throughout Asia and leading snowmobile trips in Japan's backcountry. This led me to a job as an overland driver, running trips all over Central and South America, Africa and the Middle East, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. Along with writing, I still work as a guide part time and although I've gone off baked beans the rum remains a constant.
