Biography

As an all-round travel writer, James can tackle any short-notice or slow-burn project as required, to any commissioned style and needs. Based in the UK, his recent work has taken him trekking in the Northern Algarve, rodeo-chasing in Texas and Ferrari-driving in Italy. His work has covered everything, from podcasts to long-form magazines and heavyweight broadsheets, as well as popular tabloids. As a worldwide-travelled and award-winning journalist, James has major experience in working quickly, accurately and stylishly to deadlines as well as adding in excellent images, being a C&G qualified photographer.
Key interest areas include Ireland, the USA, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. But he is open to any travel, including throughout England, Scotland, Wales and France.
