Steve has built a long career as a freelance travel and features writer, photographer, and storyteller, exploring destinations ranging from remote corners of the world to the wildlife-rich coastline of his beloved Northumberland.

His writing focuses on expedition and small-ship cruising, isolated destinations, remarkable people and the natural world, with a particular passion for birds and the places they inhabit. Equally at home producing in-depth features or his much-loved round-up articles, Steve combines curiosity with an engaging, down-to-earth writing style.

More recently, Steve has developed a growing interest in solo and accessible travel, particularly for older travellers. Drawing on his own experiences, he explores how travel can remain inspiring, enriching and achievable at every stage of life.

Whether he's watching puffins on the Farne Islands, discovering a little-known destination or meeting the people who bring a place to life, Steve's stories are driven by a genuine enthusiasm for exploration and the belief that there's always another fascinating tale waiting to be told.
