Travel writing

Examples of my articles can be found in my travel writing portfolio. I currently have proposals available for specific angles in the following destinations:

Asia

  • Philippines
  • Malaysia (including northern Borneo)
  • Indonesia
  • Singapore
  • Hong Kong
  • Macau
  • Brunei
  • India
  • Pakistan
  • Central Asia (all the ex-Soviet ‘stans plus Xinjiang province in China)

Europe

  • Latvia (where I have particular expertise as author of a guidebook on the country)
  • Iceland
  • Norway
  • Slovakia
  • UK
My areas of expertise include disabled accessible travel, and I am particularly drawn to topics which are adventurous or offbeat. I also have high resolution images of many of these countries, available to be licensed alongside my text or on their own.
