  • V!VA Travel Guides

I'm a curious explorer with continually itchy feet. If I could, I would dance my way around the world.

  • Hometown

    Whitley Bay, UK

  • Location now

    London, UK

  • Work published

    South American Explorers Website (Colombia and Cuba guides) and hopefully V!VA in the near future.

  • Craziest place

    Aracataca, Colombia - birthplace of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It has an end of the world feel. Locals are petitioning to change the town's name to Aracatca-Macondo in the hope of raising its profile. Looking at the visitor's book in the tiny museum, I was the first tourist there for 3 months and the Mayor himself greeted me jovially in the Plaza thanking me for my visit. An extraordinary experience.

  • Dream destination

    Somewhere that is yet to be discovered, a destination as yet without a name.
