I’ve interviewed and worked with people from all walks of life - high profile, locally and internationally, on wide ranging topics - social and human interest, humanitarian, arts, music, history, faith, culture, - often on sensitive and highly emotive subjects - building relationships and trust, gaining access to unique and compelling stories. I’ve travelled the world - and to remote and hazardous locations including war zones. I’ve trekked in search of gorillas in West Africa (and was charged by buffalo), climbed the world’s deadliest volcano, filmed in Guerrilla territory in Colombia, paraglided in Wales and scuba dived in Caribbean and Australia. I’ve ridden on horseback through forests of Costa Rica, cycled across Europe.
