Hello, and thanks for visiting - My first book, Kings of the Yukon, tells the story of a 2000 mile canoe trip across Canada and Alaska, investigating the cause of the king salmon's decline, and how that decline is impacting on the many different communties and ecosystems that depend on it. It won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year (2018) and the Lonely Planet Adventure Travel Book of the Year (2019). The idea for that book, paddling the Yukon from source to sea, grew out of a long love of slow, overland journeys. Ten years ago I walked from England to Istanbul, and more recently I walked across Scotland to explore how people would feel about the proposed reintroduction of the wolf. That same love led to me living on the canals of England, and I'm currently on a Dutch barge on the River Lea, with my girlfriend and little daughter. We spent last year living on the island of Lesvos, and working at Moria refugee camp. Most of my work explores that place where the human and the non-human world overlap, and tries to give a voice to both those worlds. I've written on everything from vanishing villages in Alaska to reforestation projects in Malawi, immigration in Greece to land reform in Scotland, activism in India and hitch-hiking in Britain. There's a collection of my work at my website: www.adamweymouth.com Twitter: @adamweymouth Thanks to Chris Boulton for the author photo
