His TV adventures have been broadcast in dozens of countries, enthralling millions and he is conducted two lecture tours of theatres around the UK.

He has received a One World Broadcasting Trust Award for “an outstanding contribution to greater world understanding” and the prestigious 2012 Ness Award from the Royal Geographical Society.
