Travel tips and advice from a photographer and writer

I'm not a Travel Blogger, let me make that clear at the outset! However, I am lucky enough to travel in my work quite frequently, so it began to make perfect sense to write about some of the locations I've travelled to, how I am able to enjoy the process of travelling (the trick is in packing super light) and also some of the great people I have met along the way.

I hope you enjoy the journey.
