Experience Rwanda's gorillas and Malawi's elephants in two of Africa's stunning national parks. Seeing animals with such depth of emotion living in their natural environment is a touching experience, a glimpse worth experiencing.

Big animals bring big swigs of adrenalin. I recollect sitting inside a Land Rover in Southern Malawi when a solitary male elephant decided to charge us. All the cells in my body felt momentarily stunned, unable to move beyond flicking my eyelids wide open. 

Curious to find out about my most memorable moments? Hint: Both took place in some of Africa's most remote national parks

A Traveller's Guide to Unforgettable Places to Stay

8/3/2019

After travelling to over seventy countries, I can't forget these four amazing accommodations. 

What makes a place great:
Friendly staff can have a massive impact on how well I enjoy a place. Setting and activities available can also elevate locations to a top pick. Lastly, cleanliness is a fundamental quality for me; a lack thereof knocks a hotel out of consideration.

Interview with Birds of a Feather Press

5/9/2019

Birds of a Feather Press interviews “travel writers with an independent spirit” in their Author Interview Series and I am happy to be featured in their latest edition!
Not all travel guides are created equal, and I love the approach this week’s travel writer, Nancy O’Hare, has taken with her books. They’re not a dry collection of facts and figures to help travelers explore off-the-beaten path locations. Instead, she weaves the information through travel narratives so readers are transported to the destinations Nancy is excited to share with them.

The first draft of my travel guide was strictly informational, but during the second draft I added travel narratives to make it inspirational too. I think this content balance is the best formula for travel guides, and it’s up to the author how much of each ingredient they include. ~~ Jay Artale of Birds of a Feather Press

The Patagonia region is absolutely mammoth, with over one million square kilometres covering both Argentina’s and Chile’s southern reaches. The entire expanse is stunning; volcanic peaks, sharp rocky pitches and chunky glacier ice masses extend across its land. This may be one of those treasured destinations that entice you back for more, a sweet treat for outdoor aficionados.
