As well as my work as an adventure journalist, I'm also a performance poet, playwright and creative writer. Sometimes I even combine being on stage with the adventure travel stuff, like at the Adventure Travel Show this year, where I led a chat with G-Adventures, which was fun. I co-wrote the play Lifeguards for the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe with Grant Robertson, and my first spoken word show, The Space Gecko Project debuted at Hidden Door Festival 2018, before enjoying a successful and acclaimed run at the Edinburgh fringe.

The Skinny described The Space Gecko Project as "the most wholesome event for Scottish poetry in 2018" and the Sunday Post called it "wonderfully weird". I've also done feature sets with Sonnet Youth, Inky Fingers, Loud Poets, Interrobang and more, and performed across Scotland, England and in Berlin and Paris. My surreal short stories have also been published in 404 Ink Literary Magazine, and I'm always open to new performing, speaking and writing opportunities in any walk of life.
