The Documentary

Welcome to my blog. I'm a passionate storyteller, teacher, adventure-journalist and sportsman.  This blog explores those subjects. Two Cultures, One Body is a travel-adventure documentary in which I take my father's ashes to be immersed in the Ganges, India.  I look at what migrant heritage means to mixed-race and second-generation people in Britain, by following my father's migratory route in reverse, along the Hippy Trail, which thousands of English kids took to uncover the riches of Indian culture, myth and religion.
