I have been a journalist for 20 years and a freelance travel writer on The Sunday Times in London since 1994. During that time I have visited more than 70 countries and had more than 500 articles published.

I am known for my consumer journalism, including a string of high-profile campaigns I have managed for The Sunday Times. The most recent was the Clean Up Car Hire campaign in 2006.

In 2005 I was the first travel journalist to report back from the Maldives after the tsunami. In the following weeks I filed on-the-spot reports from stricken areas of Sri Lanka and Thailand.

I have won several writing awards, including Best National Newspaper Feature at the 2006 Caribbean Travel Writing Awards.

I have been writing about the internet for The Sunday Times since 1997, with a particular interest in search. I also do copywriting and SEO (search engine optimisation). I consider myself, to use a phrase coined by Charles Handy, a portfolio worker.
