After being referred to his blog, I was immediately hooked on Russell's writing. Honest and heart-felt, his work struck a chord and I now know why he draws a crowd. He's a rare gem.

Russell’s passion for finding new experiences and telling them to the world is inspiring. As a traveller myself, I take pleasure in keeping up-to-date on his adventures.

Work With Me

I’m a writer and social media influencer who isn’t afraid of exploring both the good and bad that comes with seeking out a different way of life.

I left my homeland thirteen years ago, escaped the office cubicle, changed the scenery outside my window and now live with less stress, better health, and more time for family and adventure.

Does this sound like a good fit with your brand? Do you want to gain access to an engaged and loyal audience of like minded souls?

I’ve grown a global audience of expats, travellers, culture junkies, nomads and other people interested in the idea of a life less ordinary – one based on a lifestyle and working world that fits them, not the other way around. As a leading writer, blogger and social influencer, I can give authenticity and credibility to your brand’s voice.

My work has featured in The Huffington Post, The Telegraph, Mamamia, Fodor’s and The Australian. I’ve been interviewed by radio, appeared on TV and I’m also the founder of The International Writer, where I write for business and brand. One of my recent articles on The Huffington Post achieved more than 88,000 likes and 14,500 shares on Facebook alone.
