Growing up in the UK, travelling in pursuit of adventure mainly took me to mountainous areas of England, France and Switzerland. I’ve ridden a bike all over the UK, and have visited the European Alps in summer and winter for a variety of sports. I’ve taken the approach of getting to know a country or geographical area in depth, rather than ticking off the number of countries I have visited.

Since moving to New Zealand in 2023, I no longer have the convenience of Europe on my doorstep, so plan to explore more of Oceania and Asia.

The map below shows icons for activities of the entries featured in the Journal, with a link to the Journal page. I have also added pins for other places I’ve been to on noteworthy trips, but haven’t written a full write-up for. Underneath the map are links to pages for viewing all entries in an individual country.
