Neil is a freelance writer who specialises in travel. He primarily writes features but is also available for other freelance writing commissions.

He has expertise in the regions of Latin America and Asia, and in the fields of overland travel, alcohol culture and English-language teaching. Frankly, though, he'd write about horses, submarines or pretty much anything else if you asked him nicely enough.

As well as articles he has written a non-fiction book, website content, comedy sketches and technical documentation. He is also a skilled interviewer and a competent photographer.

Neil is committed to maintaining a small carbon footprint. This means he only flies when there are no other realistic alternatives available and encourages his audience to do the same. He even swam to Japan once.

He didn't really.
