I am an author, adventurist and activist.
I have travelled in 44 countries from the high mountains of Peru, the Karakoram highway and the Hindu Kush, to the deserts of Australia, Africa and China. From diving in the Atlantic, Indian, Mediterranean and Pacific Oceans to ascending previously unclimbed peaks high up within the Arctic circle of Northern Greenland and canoeing Canadian rivers in the wild north of the Yukon.
I am always searching for new interests and new ideas.
My life mantra is now:
Live every day as if you will die tomorrow,
Learn every day as if you will live forever.
When not travelling I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, with my wife Alison; I have two children.
I am passionately against human trafficking and slavery.
I have completed my first novel on the subject, SVETNA which is published by Eloquent Books.
