Since 2015 I have been a freelance writer and wildlife photographer, working out of some of the planet's most spectacular wildlife and nature travel destinations--from the Amazon to Raja Ampat--diving, snorkelling, fieldherping, birding and photographing my way around the world. I'm also the author of "The Nature Traveller's Handbook: 150 Research Stations and Private Reserves to Visit Before You Die."
