Based in World
Since 1989, I've been immersed in the world of travel journalism, initially as a travel presenter and editor for Classic FM, where I shared stories on local, national, and international destinations. As the digital age dawned, I transitioned online, becoming an active member of the travel blogger and social media community. This journey has allowed me to connect with fellow travel enthusiasts and share my unique perspective on the world. I am a proud member of the British Guild of Travel Writers and the co-author of "Bradt: D-Day Landings – A travel guide to Normandy's beaches and battlegrounds." My passion lies in exploring the intersection of travel and history, with a particular focus on mechanical, technical, and historical sites. Through my niche blog, Mechtraveller, I delve into battlefield sites, military museums, factory tours, and the marvels of engineering and architecture. My travels are driven by a desire to uncover the stories behind the places we visit. I seek out locations where significant events unfolded and museums that curate our collective past. Whether it's exploring the remnants of wartime history or marveling at groundbreaking feats of engineering, I aim to provide insights into the world's most fascinating destinations. Join me as we explore the world's hidden gems and uncover the stories that shape our understanding of history, technology, and culture.
