My books are about my travel and business adventures and following my dreams in Africa.

In 2005, I embarked on a thrilling five-year entrepreneurial journey in Lagos, Nigeria.
Join me as I share the highs and lows of creating a successful recycling social enterprise making hand made paper, founding a management consultancy, being Australia’s Honorary Consul and making a difference to an embattled community. My tale shines a light on this megacity of contradictions–as open as it is opaque, as full of opportunity as it is of hazards, as exciting as it is frustrating.

A gibbous moon refers to a moon in an intermediate phase between half-moon and full moon.
Is my and Lagos’s gibbous moon waxing or waning?

“That’s it!” I thought. “I’ll cycle across Africa!”
In London in 1992, I had a comfortable, if overworked, existence as a management consultant but I yearned for sun, freedom and the adventure of not knowing what the next day might bring.
Join me on this exhilarating 14,500 kilometre cycling journey through 17 countries from Dakar, Senegal to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania; a journey that began by following an African dream and a search for meaning, which turned into an uncomfortable discovery of my desires for clean clothes, privacy and pineapple.
Esprit de Battuta is published by Hardie Grant Books
Ibn Battuta was a 14th century Moroccan who travelled the Moslem world, including West and East Africa, for 29 years. He travelled slowly and curiously.
I travelled with the same spirit as Ibn Battuta, curious to learn about Africa of my day.
