He began a career in journalism as a political reporter during the Rhodesian Bush War. His reportage in South Africa led to the apartheid government declaring him an 'undesirable alien' and they subsequently deported him. He subsequently established himself in London, writing for international magazines. In the mid eighties he was appointed editor of Business Traveller magazine. In 1988 he moved to New York City where he worked as a writer and editor for Condé Nast Publications for ten years. He was an editor at Condé Nast Traveler and a contracted writer for Vanity Fair. He also wrote for a number of other publications in America and the UK.

In 1998 he returned to Britain to become the travel editor of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph. A year earlier he published Last Days in Cloud Cuckooland about the end of white rule in South Africa. It was named as one of the Washington Post's Best Non Fiction Books of 1998. He was Group Travel Editor of the Telegraph Media Group from 1998 to December 2011.
