Talks and Illustrated Presentations on Travel and Geography

llustrated talks and presentations by a travel writer, drawing on fieldwork, geography and first‑hand experience

I give talks and presentations to groups and organisations on travel, geography, and first‑hand experience in lesser‑known and complex regions. Presentations combine narrative travel writing with geographic and cultural context.

Recent talks
