For 13 years I worked in the travel industry, first as an adventure tour leader (best job in the world!), then in the product and operations depts. of two of the UK's leading adventure travel companies (eventually became just too much of a 'desk job' for me). Today I divide my time between consulting for "Addicted to Travel" (for the travel) and property developing (err...for the money!).
When I'm not building or refurbishing something somewhere, I'm thinking about, talking about and writing about travel. I often help Nick and Co at ATT research new trips, check out old ones, find and vet operators, write country guides, take photos etc. I'm also a keen skier, drummer and a rugby fan.

There's certainly nothing fake or 'touristy' about Rosso and from that point of view it is a fascinating place to wander about and just 'people watch'. The town itself is a classic ramshackle border town, but the focus of the place is the actual ferry port and customs area, which is fenced off, the ...
I effectively did this tour while helping ATT recce the route last Autumn. I wasn't sure what to expect from Mauritania before I went. Lots of dunes and camels for sure, but would that be it? I was amazed by the reality. I have been lucky enough to see some of the world's great desert scenery in m...
I did the full day rafting back in the 90's. It was one of the best things - and certainly one of the scariest - I have ever done. We wiped out several times. And I don't just mean tipped over. I mean everyone launched out the boat and helplessly flying through the air! Only to land in a gigantic wa...
Good to have you online.
Is this system of communication on public view? Or just visible to you and me?
