I'm a British journalist based in Nairobi, East Africa. I have worked primarily in Kenya, DR Congo, Somalia, and Guinea Bissau. I am also working on a satirical novel based on my experience of cycling 5,000 miles across Africa.

In 2012, I was a One World Media Award nominee for my reporting on so-called "failed states" in sub-saharan Africa. I work regularly for TIME, The Guardian and IRIN, and specialise in longer-form writing. 

To date, I have focused on reporting human rights, development, wildlife and the environment. To get in touch, please email me and to see some of my recent articles and related links, click here.
