About this travelling man
“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”
– Cesare Pavese
There's a place that keeps on calling me...
I love to travel. In particular I enjoy immersing myself in the history and culture of a place. In fact I think I spend more time researching the country I’m visiting than packing.
This blog is a work in progress, as is my travel portfolio and I desperately want to broaden both. I will do, read about it here.
Freelance
Writer
Alongside my own creative writing work I’m always actively looking for freelance writing projects and opportunities to expand my experience and community.
I have an HND in Professional Broadcasting and a Master of Arts in Creative Writing, as well as a lengthy career in marketing, so my creative interests are broad.
I write, edit and consult on scripts, plays, short stories, produce content, articles and, well, anything else I can get paid for!
Marketing & Communications Consultant
I am an experienced marketing professional, specialising in brand development, content creation, social media strategy and communications. Fifteen years working across marketing, events and recruitment have developed my creativity at delivering successful marketing campaigns, website management & development projects, as well as embedding information architecture & processes to align content with strategic vision.
I just bloody love words
I particularly love to write about what I love. This blog is where I retell stories and share pictures from the (hopefully) more exotic moments of my life, those involving amazing travel, good food, indulgent boozing and pleasurable company. I hope for a lot more of them!
