I lived and worked in Asia for many years, managing and monitoring rural development projects for a living and using that experience to write about rural development and travel for the local English language press.

I am now based in Cornwall, UK, working as a freelance writer and photographer. In Suite 101 I write on a wide range of topics, mainly landscape photography and travel with some general background articles related to the current news in Britain.
