About the Author

From bicycle touring to backpacking, watercolour painting to clay modelling, the exploration journal captures my journey through many different interests and travel adventures.

I’m passionate about finding those out of the way places that whisk you away from the concerns of everyday life. Whether this is by wading through an overgrown river or trying new paint techniques is up to you!

Backpacking

I started backpacking roughly in 2012 and alternated between the French & Spanish Pyrenees and the French & Italian Alps for the next ten years. Unfortunately the further back I go, the worse the photos get and the less certain I am of where I went.
