‘Who?’
Some bloke off the internet


Hello world.

I’m an award-winning writer (who isn’t?) with 20 years’ experience as a lifestyle journalist and editor, specialising in luxury travel, LGBT+ travel, luxury LGBT+ travel, copywriting and celebrity interviews (hello Adele, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, assorted Spice Girls, people off your telly, etc.).

Erstwhile Travel Editor of Gay Times with bylines at glittering titles including The Times, Telegraph, Sunday Express, the i, Wanderlust, Rough Guides, Heat, Attitude, Civilian Global, Women’s Health, loads more.

Copywriter for MAC (the cosmetics, not your laptop) with past clients including Visit London, ITV (hello Coronation Street!), Bacardi (hello rum!), Elegant Resorts, tons more.

Director of JAKE (roaming events and supper clubs at London’s fanciest venues for gay men who like nice things. It also has a very nifty travel section).

Writing a romcom with my best mate which Adele said she’d love to be in even though, ‘I can’t f***ing act!’

Trying to tot up how many hotel reviews I’ve done. It’s around the 400 mark.

I’ve never written ‘tale of two cities’, ‘land of contrasts’ or ‘azure sea’. Until just now.

Thanks for listening.
