The world according to Darren
Mountain/Desert/Ocean/Jungle... which one are you?

What was your first great travel experience?
Stranded on a Fijian island the size of a postage stamp with no care in the world.
What has been your favourite journey?
Trekking through the Borneon jungle on the Malay-Indonesian border in search of the elusive orang utan. The jungle was throbbing with life.

Snowdonia National Park; London; Rome; South Island NZ; Bako National Park, Malaysia.
