Travel has run through my whole life, but it took me a while to make it the centre of it. For years it lived in the margins – a trip here, a long weekend there, always promising myself the bigger journeys later. Later finally arrived. I came back to travel with more time, more curiosity, and far less interest in rushing, and it has shaped everything I do since.
I have been lucky enough to travel widely across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Some of the places that have stayed with me most aren’t the ones you’d find on a highlights reel – the Philippines, Moldova, Pakistan, Lithuania. They reward the traveller who turns up curious rather than comfortable, who’s happy to be a little lost, who’d rather talk to someone at a market than queue for a viewpoint.
What pulls me in is the texture of a place: its architecture and the hands that built it, the food and the rituals around it, the layers of history sitting under an ordinary street, the landscapes that shaped how people live. I’m endlessly interested in local life – not as something to photograph and leave, but as the actual point of going.
Most of my films are made on foot, or from a train window. Walking is slow on purpose. You notice the doorway, the plaque, the way a city changes street by street – all the things that blur past at any faster speed. Slow travel isn’t a gimmick to me; it’s simply how you come to understand somewhere instead of just visiting it.
So I make travel films for curious minds, and this site is their companion – the place where each journey gets the room a short video can’t give it: the full history, the routes, the photographs, and the reflections that come after the camera’s off. My hope is simple: that a film or a story here sends you somewhere thoughtfully, and that you come back having understood it.
Thanks for being here. If you’d like to come along, the films are on YouTube and the stories are in the Journal.
