The Incidental Tourist
The Incidental Tourist is a Personal Travel Blog of a conscious traveller with a deep love for Africa, its incredible people and the environment.
Here I bring you narratives, stories, video and photographs from my travels around the globe, including accounts of gorilla trekking in Uganda, turtle rescue in Kenya, tree planting in Zambia and setting up a temporary home in Lisbon. Not to mention falling in love with Marjorelle Blue in Marrakech.
Included too are accommodation and restaurant reviews, as well as details of the conservation efforts that I support.
A self proclaimed earth advocate and beauty seeker, I invite you to share in my love of sustainable impact travel – and the rich offerings of our beautiful world. With a long career as a Dream Holiday Maker, I can assist with travels arrangements to any of these areas too.
Travel Better, Not Less.
