Exploration rarely stays confined to the field.
Over the years, expeditions have led me into all kinds of unexpected territory, writing books, documenting forgotten stories, building magazines, designing clothing inspired by the golden age of adventure, speaking about expeditions, and trying to capture the spirit of exploration in as many forms as possible.
Just this year, I ended my decade-long career in archaeology to focus more on these other projects.
Some projects begin deep in archives.
Some begin in jungles or deserts.
Some start around a campfire at two in the morning with a terrible idea that somehow survives long enough to become reality.
What connects all of them is the same fascination with history, adventure, and the unknown.
Below you’ll find the different projects, works, and ventures I’m currently involved in, from expeditions and books to journalism, courses, lectures, and the occasional slightly questionable creative endeavour.
At the heart of everything are the expeditions.
Since 2016 I’ve travelled across more than thirty countries researching historical legends, lost places, forgotten stories, and unusual mysteries. Some expeditions focus on archaeology and history, others on folklore, exploration, or simply following a lead that refuses to leave me alone.
The expeditions are where the stories begin.
My books focus on expeditions, historical mysteries, and the reality of life in the field — somewhere between travel journal, research notebook, and adventure story.
Rather than polished “expert accounts,” I try to document expeditions as they truly happen: the discoveries, the setbacks, the strange encounters, and the moments where the entire plan quietly falls apart.

I currently work in freelance journalism focused on exploration, history, adventure, and expedition culture.
My work explores the space where history and storytelling meet — from forgotten legends and hidden locations to the very human side of exploration itself.
I am the editor-in-chief of The Rogue & Journal magazine, where we publish expedition reports, historical articles, field guides, interviews, and stories from explorers, writers, researchers, and adventurers from around the world.
The goal is simple:
Real stories. Real people. Real adventure.
Coming Soon
I am currently developing courses focused on exploration, expedition planning, fieldwork, research methods, and the realities of modern adventure.
The idea behind these courses is not to create “perfect explorers,” but to help people take their first real steps into exploration, research, and independent adventure.
Because most expeditions begin with somebody thinking:
“Well… this is probably a terrible idea.”
Coming Soon
I can be booked for talks and presentations about expeditions, exploration, historical mysteries, and life in the field.
These talks combine real expedition stories, practical lessons, unexpected disasters, historical research, and the occasional motivational anecdote learned somewhere far away from civilisation.
Usually the fun way, which some might consider the hard way.
Coming Soon
I am also the lead designer behind Rogue & Compass — Outfitters for the Occasionally Lost.
The brand is inspired by the vintage aesthetics of old explorers, expedition photographs, worn field journals, jungle pilots, and the golden age of adventure.
It’s less about fashion trends and more about capturing the feeling of stepping into the unknown with a backpack, a questionable map, and just enough confidence to become a problem.
