Raised in Zimbabwe, Africa, I have an affinity for the continent and its complexities.

I travelled quite extensively in the last decade which has informed my travel writing. You'll find a particular focus on Turkey, Southern Europe and Africa.

Perhaps as a consequence of being a person of many parts I've struggled to settle down in my adult life. Ironically, as a young man, I never imagined I would want to live anywhere else...

As the great journalistic travel writer Ryszard Kapuscinski points out in his book, Travels with Herodotus,

"A journey does not begin the moment we set off, nor does it end the moment we have reached our doorstep once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running i ...more

Leo’s Quotes

“yes of course this is not new, has been going on throughout history... Could there be any real difference when this 'ruling class' used words like justice, fair play, equity, order, or ven socialism? -used them, might even have believed in them, or believed in them for a time; but meanwhile everything fell to pieces while still, as always, the administrators lived cushioned against the worst, trying to talk away, wish away, legislate away, the worst- for to admit that it was happening was to admit to themselves useless, admit the extra security they enjoyed was theft and not payment for services rendered...”
― Doris Lessing, The Memoirs of a Survivor

“This is the sort of thing we accepted as normal. Yet for all of us there were moments when the game we were all agreeing to play simply could not stand up to events: we would be gripped by feelings of unreality, like nausea. Perhaps this feeling, that the ground was dissolving under our feet, was the real enemy… or we believed it to be so. Perhaps our tacit agreement that nothing much— or at least nothing irrecoverable— was happening was because for us the enemy was Reality, was to allow ourselves to know what was happening.”
― Doris Lessing, The Memoirs of a Survivor
