I'm a travel/food writer and photographer who discovered a passion for exploring the world ‒ and sampling its foods ‒ as a teenager and have gone on to travel, as of November 2024, in 126 countries (which means I have more than 60 still to visit, and I'm planning to see them all).
 
My travels have taken many roads: numerous solo, independent adventures, crossing lands and traversing continents by buses, boats and off-road vehicles, from tourist Meccas to remote corners of the world; a wide range of freelance and magazine assignments; public relations work; and studying and living in several countries as well as a panoply of delectable personal sojourns and escapes with family and friends.
 
Over more than four decades, I've penned articles for scores of newspapers, magazines and websites. And I have a huge library of images available for sale from nearly 90 countries.
