About Joseph Richard
Born and bred on the wild South Wales coast, I have been traveling and travel writing since 2013. I split my time mainly between the ocean and the mountains, but also like to drop in a little urban culture – craft beer (too much), jazz, classical art – here and there to balance things out.
My favorite trips to date include explorations of the snow-capped Southern Alps of New Zealand, surfing jaunts to the southwestern reefs of Sri Lanka, and hopping the atmospheric colonial cities of central Mexico to the breaks on the Pacific coast. My current interests mainly center on surf travel, ski travel, and adventure travel. When I'm not hauling my backpack and board, you can usually find me paddling around the rugged Gower Peninsula, my much-loved base between trips.
