TRAVEL JOURNALIST

I've written about travel and holidays since the late 1980s for numerous newspapers and magazines.

 

I am a long-standing contributor to the travel section of The Daily Telegraph. I am the resident travel expert for the Telegraph on Bath, writing reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink in the city, as well as cover sightseeing and things to do.

 

I also provide expert coverage of the Caribbean for The Telegraph, especially of Barbados, St Lucia and Grenada, and have written articles on many other topics, including consumer advice, hotels and cruises.

 

An archive of my Telegraph articles can be found here.
