I'm a freelance travel, adventure and conservation writer. I've written for The Independent, 101 Holidays, Real Travel, gapwork.com, iied.org and Outdoor Fitness and I founded family adventure site The Smaller Explorer. I've travelled in over 30 countries and have an MA in Tourism, Environment and Development and I'm a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. My specialist areas include ethical travel, family adventure and African wildlife conservation.
