I'm a New Zealand-based travel expert based in the South Island, and love nothing more than to hit the road and explore new places near me. Luckily, there are so many remote back roads throughout the South Island that I can get to quite easily. My favourite places are the Marlborough Sounds--especially the drive to French Pass, at the end of Pelorus Sound--as well as the Great Coast Road between Punakaiki and Greymouth, and the roads around Haast, at the bottom of the West Coast. I've also travelled extensively around other parts of the world, and I also specialise in travel to Nepal and India (although I prefer to travel through the mountains on foot in these places than by road!) When I'm not travelling or working on a creative project I can usually be found tinkering with my newly purchased, 70-year-old house in Nelson, New Zealand.
