Looking forward to speaking at the @travwriters.bsky.social Better World Symposium on 19 Jan. I’ll be on the opening panel, ‘What will travel storytelling for a better world in 2026 look like’, alongside @karennedwards.bsky.social, David Lindo & Chris Coe. 🎟️ bgtw.org/better-world...

Such a lovely evening. Thanks to everyone who joined us on Friday

Many people who are concerned about climate change feel “isolated and alone” because they have no idea they are part of 80-89% of people across the world who want their governments to take climate action.

An action shot from last night’s panel discussion at the Inspire Global Media Awards. Really enjoyed chatting to @karennedwards.bsky.social, Pippa Jacks & @richardgehammond.bsky.social about progressive travel storytelling. Congratulations to all the winners 🎉 #IGMAs #positiveimpacttorytelling

Lovely Quito. Finally had a chance to spend some proper time in the Ecuadorian capital and fell a little in love 💛

This assault on universities is an attack on free speech & academic freedom. It's also going to result in the increased privatizing of university research funds. Here's just one example of how that can warp the information ecosystem, from @sarasneath.bsky.social drilled.media/news/bp-univ...

Alright, so. I got, well, hacked isn't the right word and identity theft isnt quite right either. But I definitely got screwed over via the internet and there are some things you can do to know what's happening and ideally prevent it (1/N)

So nice to see some gentle signs of spring

This was such an interesting piece to write, not least because I was able to speak to inspiring people leading the work to reduce climate/environmental impacts at European ski resorts. Yet, the bottom line remains the same - we must move away from fossil fuel use. www.timeout.com/travel/is-sk...

I haven’t said much publicly about the podcast I’ve done with @BBCSounds & the great @GeorgiaJCatt yet. But it’s a creepy story about how creepy technology is used to creep out a young woman, my former stepdaughter, Hannah. But that’s only the beginning 1/ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

We need good journalists more than ever. Here are some great ones working in the climate space. Follow them. Amplify them. Support them if you can.

When planning your trips this year, it’s well worth considering the countries being uplifted by tourism. Mostly, I hope this will be the year that we listen and give space to those impacted by overtourism www.timeout.com/travel/count...

I took the Caledonian Sleeper to Aberdeen last year and found that the journey itself was such a highlight (view = 💯 and I slept SO well). Have had a lot of people asking about the sleeper train experience, so put this together to answer those questions www.wanderlustmagazine.com/inspiration/...

Some memories from Antarctica on #AntarcticaDay. Was fortunate to visit for the first time 10 years ago. This was where my learning around climate change and Earth systems truly began

Full marks for coining the phrase 'winterrailing'. In case you hadn't heard, there's currently 25% off Interrail passes (www.interrail.eu/en/interrail...).

Northeast Arnhem Land sunsets are as beautiful as I imagined. The soundtrack to this evening was the cackle from scores of magpie geese in flight

Recently returned from a month travelling in Australia’s Northern Territory and Far North Queensland, where most of our experiences were led by Indigenous tour guides, artists, and fishermen. What a difference it makes in understanding a country when you learn from First Nations communities 💙

The overdue move away from the blue bird begins…
