I spent the first 5 years of my working life as an apprentice joiner/shopfitter with a company in the Westcountry. It was this that led to a life of travelling and working all over the UK fitting out shops stores and banks. From this my wife and family moved to live in London. It was from here I graduated to a life of working overseas in the Middle East, Asia and North Africa. It is because of the latter I am writing, “Follow in the Tigermans Footprints.” From the early days of my travelling around the UK, I was later able to travel to 15 countries at no financial cost to myself. After obtaining a contract to work in Turkey in 1998, my late wife and I lived there until her death in 2007. Since then I have remarried and now live with my Turkish wife in Istanbul. I am very interested in nature and the environment and support a number of organisation connected to this. The tiger shown on the cover and inside the book are of Jasper, a tiger I have adopted for over 10 years from Care for the Wild. Please check out my website. You can also reach me by email.
