Who am I? Good question. I am a writer, surfer and VW owner.n 2010 I became a television presenter when I presented a 10 part TV show 'One Man and his Campervan' on BBC2. It's since been shown all over the world and gets repeated a lot on Quest. Sorry about that. I am also someone who loves books. So, as well as making a place for my own books, I thought it might be a good place to gather some of my favourite camping, cooking and camper van books and make a place for them too. I live in Bude, Cornwall, with my wife Joanne, my kids Maggie (13), Charlie (12), a dog of unknown origin called Bob (7) and Kip Van Winkle the VW Type 5 California camper van . I work from the spare room in my house where I write about VW's, camping, food, fun and simple pleasures. I make videos for my 2 Minute Beach Clean project and occasionally for US photography giant Adorama. I have written for all kinds of brands, publications and periodicals and am a regular contributor to Motorhome and Motorcaravan Monthly, Coast Magazine and Camping Magazine. You can commission me to write for you. Just get in touch. I love to cook but I'm not a chef, nor will I ever claim to be. But I do consider every meal to be part of my continuing education in food. My love of cooking and camping comes from half a lifetime's worth of experience cooking and sleeping in vans, cars and under canvas whilst on surf trips, but it wasn't until I began picking and cooking mussels from beaches near my house that I had the idea for my book, The Camper Van Cookbook and it all started to come together. I am also a trained Barista, a qualified RNLI Beach Lifeguard, a PADI Drysuit Diver and hold a current Cycling Proficiency Badge (from 1978). I love tea.
