Apologies if you’ve come across my mini-web whilst looking for someone who writes about a spicier kind of cruising, but I specialise in writing about the cruising that you do on ships, boats and vessels. It’s still exciting though and I’ve been privileged to spend the last few years at sea exploring exotic destinations from remote north-west Australia and the Canadian Arctic to the Med, SE Asia and Tahiti.

Although I love pootling around on floating hotels, I also like having my feet on terra firma and have written about all kind of land-based adventures including swimming with crocs in Oz, cooking in the Caribbean with Gary Rhodes and becoming a Geisha girl in Japan.

I will be living in Vancouver, Canada for a year between May 2012-13 and will be focusing on North American stories during this time.

My work pops up in national newspapers (Mail on Sunday, Independent on Sunday, Sunday Mirror); consumer (Wanderlust, Sunday Times Travel), customer (Co-op's Sailaway, Holiday, CTC, Noble Caledonia)and business magazines (C&IT, Selling Long Haul); and is also now on travel websites as well (Simonseeks, Room for Romance,MSN Travel).
