That first time was in the early '80s when Duncan visited his parents who had built a house near Ronda in Andalusia. By 2000 he was hooked on Iberia and began making annual trips on his Moto Guzzi motorbike; as always in his travels, accompanied by a sketchbook. He wrote articles about these journeys and in 2010 these were collected with other articles in his first self-published book, 'Back Roads of Spain'. Since then, he has published a further nine books.
Duncan was born in London, but at the age of three, his family moved to a mixed fruit farm in the middle of 100 acres of Rhodesian bush. An unusual early childhood was spent nearly always barefoot, spending a lot of time off in the bush learning self-reliance and about the natural world. At the age of eighteen, he got a job on a sugar-cane farm in Zululand, South Africa. In the following years, he worked on feature films, as a boat-fitter/engineer in Greece, and a cabinet maker. He became in his own words - "A Jack of all trades".
In 1980, he took a degree in Visual Art at Aberystwyth University, and in the years since, has added Theatre Designer and Tour Guide to his C.V. He is now a full-time Travel Writer whilst working on a series of Historical Novels set in the 1800s.показать меньше
