A Traveller's Notebook
A collection of short stories of adventures, and misadventures, from my travel diaries.
I’ve built a raft, run rapids and lived off the river in Bolivia; cycled remote trails fending off ferocious mountain dogs in Turkey; found myself as guest of honour at a Bedouin wedding in Jordan; had a near death experience in Peru, and many other close shaves.
I'm in my 50's and between juggling family life and work I try and fit in as much travel as possible.

First Night, First Adventure (Turkey, 2020)

A Fox Came to Breakfast (Turkey, 2020)
After hairy nights being shot at by gun totting locals and fending off ferocious sheep dogs, I was now in safer camping country, enjoying the calm of a remote coastline when a fox came to breakfast.

A Night Walk (Peru, 2011)
Often adventure happens when things don’t go to plan. Everything went wrong on my journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu but I ended up with a good story.
