[Travel & Film]
BIOGRAPHY
As the world regains its passion for travel, now more than ever we need to explore and showcase the best places around the world. I've worked in the film industry for over a decade and in the last five years i've combined my two greatest passions.
Travel and entertainment are intrinsically linked, and as people have shown an appetite to see the world through a screen when they are at home, they now want to visit these places themselves.
I've worked with PR agencies, global brands, media outlets and various publications to create engaging travel stories. I also produce my own high-quality photography to accompany my written work.
Let's get back out there together.
