About Ash Bhardwaj

I love finding unexpected stories through travel: the connection between Belarusian theatre and Peruvian hallucinogens; how Japan's wilderness inspired computer game design; and why a north London football team is popular in rural Uganda.I have written for The Daily Telegraph, The Times, Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Guardian, Independent, I Paper, City AM and many more. My reports and storytelling have been featured by BBC Radio Four, The BBC World Service, The Moth, Barbour and World Nomads.I recently presented a four-part television series for Discovery India, and my last project was “The New Iron Curtain", a book about my 6-month, 8500km journey along Russia's European border, to understand the liminal space between East & West. Triggered by a deployment to Estonia with NATO, I travelled overland from Arctic Norway, through Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Transnistria and Moldova, before finishing in Crimea. Telegraph Travel produced "Edgelands" - a six-part podcast series about my journey, which reached number 1 in iTunes Travel chart.I have spoken on topics including "Living Adventurously", "Facing Fear" and "Creating Opportunities" to organisations such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, The Royal Geographical Society, Cambridge and Oxford Universities, The British Army, Telegraph Travel Show, Burberry, International SOS and Lost Village Festival.Behind the camera, I have filmed television documentaries in locations ranging from the deserts of Sudan to the valleys of Kashmir, and from Mt Everest Base Camp to the badlands of Honduras. Digital Dandy is the production company I founded to bring storytelling to brands and organisations. I combine military planning and strategy with film production, to make fuss-free videos that have a measurable effect and still look great. We've made films for Visit Estonia, Visit Costa Rica, Lonely Planet, Investec, Imperial College London, City University of London, City of London Corporation, Visa, and many more.
