Over the years I have built up a wide ranging contacts book, writing on a number of differing topics within the travel and related fields. Some examples:

Travel trade, tourist boards, destinations, tour operation, accommodation and transportation sectors.

Convention bureaux, venue operators, event organisers, travel.

Airlines, airport operators, route development.

Extensive knowledge of many destinations worldwide, especially Europe, Scandinavia, southern Africa, south east Asia and Australasia. Within Europe and Scandinavia I can offer really in-depth knowledge of the UK and Ireland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Portugal. South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia are among the long-haul destinations with which I am very familiar.

I'm equally as happy writing news, features, profile articles, interview articles and travel guides.

I'm an experienced editor, sub-editor and headline writer, totally at home producing layouts in QuarkXpress. I'm also proficient with other software including Photoshop and Illustrator.
