Sharing the Stoke...

Welcome to that magic space where words and images sizzle and spark … my BLOGS range from JOURNALS hand-written in anything from -37 Degree Celsius temperatures in Greenland, to sweltering heat in La Higuera, Bolivia, where Che Guevara was executed by the CIA.

The writing and imagery here has not been curated, but comes to you off-the-cuff, and sometimes without time or opportunity to fact-check (that happens once I write my articles or books). There has been a progression in my focus over the years, with a move away from extreme sport towards adventure travel, conservation and reconnecting with nature.

Feel free to drop me a line anytime!
