Travelling and Writing

I'm a 29 year old writer and actor based in London. Recently travelled Eastern Europe through many countries researching and writing my book - 'Empire Continent'

The dragonfly with the diamond wings. Everywhere I looked during a trip to Costa Rica there was life. It takes so many forms and is so abundant. So fascinating. (at Tortuguero, Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByZ-pEopd-_/?igshid=l40lw1okz3fx

Blue skies over the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. One of the city's most magnificent buildings. Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate it. (at Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii)) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVZmQ-JeVl/?igshid=hyyh2t2n4ovo

Wrote a little something to honour the protesters in London today. Here's one for the people's gump, the right dishonourable donald trump: If your political theatre meets nuclear fission, we'll all be dead by the intermission https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQPdSQppUk/?igshid=1bshkwpym04ll

Lights blur past one of Mexico's finest cantinas; @lanegritacantina in Mérida. This place was perhaps my favourite when researching the Explore guidebook for Insight Guides. (at Mérida, Yucatan) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIerZJp9Ac/?igshid=1gw5ammo9r97t

I've thought about sharing some words with my pictures for a while, so here it goes with something simple and relevant. Travelling the world, fills a curious mind with fanciful ideas. . (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDrqtLBzi7/?igshid=1xbaewmy4albn

Remains of the day. A huge mansion house in Argyle, left to rack and ruin. I didn't even know it was there; I was out looking for unmarked prehistoric cup and ring carved stones. (at Argyll and Bute) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwSSysJkIF/?igshid=gbq8ur0afpiq

As a travel writer I see so many places where I think, "I'd like to come back here" but this might be one where I actually do. (at Agia Effimia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrKSrmpVZX/?igshid=19w1mzzwhd1ba

Today I hiked across the Greek island of Cephalonia, through a gap in the mountains full of olive groves and fields of wild flowers. For a while I could have been in the Greece of old. The Greece of fantastic beasts and mythical creatures. Polar opposite to the modern urban Greece. #travel #greece #cephalonia #kefalonia #flowers #wild #wildlife #hiking #hikingadventures #ontheroad #instatravel #potd #green #nature #travelingram #travelwriter (at Cephalonia Prefecture) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxok0-cpaII/?igshid=1lww61w14j8yc

Beautiful forests filled with bluebells for Easter just outside London but a world away. We didn't encounter many other people at all. (at Shoreham, Bromley, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwjPwx-p7ew/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l33oh0hpqqb9

Game of Thrones is back. Perhaps for the last time. And in honour of all the butchery I thought it only fair that I butcher the theme tune a little. #gameofthrones #nospoilers #got8 #guitar #instavideo #guitarcover #instagood #music #musica #음악 #tv #instamusic #butcher (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwR9X5LBD9H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jarwdcarjb26

It's grim outside and winter's looking about ready to dig in, but that does mean it's time for Christmas markets, like the great Edinburgh one. #holiday #christmas #thanksgiving #happyholidays #traveling #scottishlife #scotland #bbcscotland #ontheroad #festival #lights #helterskelter https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaRQXxgZR6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u8zf9argcb8z

Tea plantation in Rwanda. There's eucalyptus behind and the primary rainforest starts just out shot. Remarkably giving land. #travelawesome #travel #ontheroad #rwanda #tea #green (at Rwanda) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSu0cGHNe-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1frhvg668bybd

One of my favourite festival photos. Desperate to get to a festival again this summer but I haven't the time to even check out what's on and who's playing. So I live for now in the past. *** #festivalfashion #livemusic #festival #summer #British #england #uk #wizard #agameoftones #awesome #instacool #sky #costume #fun
