Welcome to The Journal

This is a gathering place for curious minds, nature lovers, travellers and explorers.

Here you’ll discover the inspiration behind each month’s mail club destination, reflections on places, treasured books, and explorations about travel, history, culture and the natural world. Some notes may lead us through tropical islands or jungles, others, through African savannahs.

My hope is that this journal encourages you to slow down, look a little closer and rediscover the wonder that surrounds us.

So make a cup of tea, settle in, stay a while.

I’m glad you’re here.
