Just back trip 30 of 2025. Included WTM BGTW Awards, where I was delighted to be win one. Epic year with over 200 articles in Telegraph, Daily Mail, Sun, i Paper, Independent, Herald & The National. Award tops it off.

Thanks to the myriad lovely folks who’ve helped me in this special year.

Absolutely epic week hiking with @rambleworldwide.bsky.social on La Isla Bonita. Easy to see why Canarios rate this remarkable Macaronesian isle so highly with its epic volcanoes, sweeping ridges & ancient forests. @travwriters.bsky.social

Back out in #Tenerife taking a deep dive into the burgeoning foodie scene for @the-independent.com. Forget fried British breakfasts; it’s all about Michelin magic these days. @travwriters.bsky.social

What a start to the year overlooking the Forth Bridges. Nothing like the Northern Lights. Happy New Year!
