He has since hiked many of the major trails in South Africa, the UK, Spain and Norway as well as in the Yosemite National Park, California, USA. A former journalist and co-founder of a public relations firm, he now leads hiking groups and facilitates forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) experiences in Cape Town. He lives in Cape Town.
