I’m a lover of wide open spaces, raging storms and special moments in the wild
Based in a small village in the South West of England I fit in as many adventures as I can around life.
I have a love of exploring wild places, diving and nature and entwine these passions into my travels and photography. This love of wild places has evolved and developed into Meandering Wild.
My photography and travel
Photography and travel merge for me into a beautiful means to escape reality and at the same time create treasured memories. I take photographs to remind me of the good times, the moments in nature that can’t be repeated and as a visual journal.
My travel photography will hopefully show you what can be achieved when visiting the places included in my guides. Somehow I don’t have the patience to wait for ‘the right light’ in a landscape but can sit in a freezing hide all day waiting for a bird to show up. This leads to some interesting decisions about which images to include in my location guides.
Wildlife photography for me is my time to relax, to sit and wait. Nothing can beat the adrenaline rush as the long-awaited individual appears on the horizon. Waiting for them to come closer, to find their way into my world is a moment worth waiting for.
My vision is to connect wildlife, travel, and photography in a way that changes your understanding of the natural world both at home and while travelling.

What you will find here
I love to travel slowly, away from the crowds looking for unique experiences and wildlife encounters. I take time to fully research each place I visit and aim to provide you with curated content that is useful and current.
Everything that has been suggested is written from personal experience and when visiting a place I will spend an extended period of time exploring all the options before deciding what to share in my guides. Nowhere is shared after just an hour passing through.
When visiting and researching I will look beyond the guidebook locations. I am never afraid to follow a path on a map to see where it takes me. I will talk to people who live there and learn what they love about their home, the history, their culture and the wildlife that surrounds them.
With a background in scientific writing and publication, and teaching in higher education my guides are concise and to the point. There isn’t too much fluff and filler, just the facts you need to plan.
