If you are looking for an adventure travel blogger who is authentic, has trust and unique expertise in the area. Well you have come to the right place. Travels and wandering will put your experience and brand at the front and centre with our audiences.
I’ve been combining my career with travel since 2008; when the recession hit the world and opportunities were no longer on my doorstep, I moved away at 18 years old and continued to travel at any given opportunity. Here on my blog, I showcase some of the best destinations and experiences, particularly focussing on adventure travel and extreme sports activities.
Welcome To Travels and Wandering
Hello, I’m the founder of this adventure travel blog. I use any opportunity I can to travel or go exploring outdoors; whether that’s short weekend trips or multi-destination adventures.
Rather than simply ticking places off the bucket list or snapping a picture. I enjoy exploring, having fun experiences or a bit of escapism.
I used to be a full-time outdoor instructor (kayaking, canoeing, climbing and navigation) and have worked extensively in sports coaching, fitness and sports science in various locations around the world.
I use every opportunity to combine my career in sport, health and leisure with travel.
