I am Charles. I am originally from England, but call Richmond, VA, my home. I am a well traveled designer, having grown up in Mali, West Africa and Germany.
My travel bug comes direct from my parents, who besides bringing me up in distant lands, embarked on an amazing overland adventure back in 1977. They traveled over 40,000 miles, through 29 countries, in Africa, Europe and Asia. They drove a 1974 Series 3 Land Rover (which they still own) and used only a map and a compass to navigate across the Sahara Desert, twice. They have even written a book called, Strangers Like Angels, which is available for purchase on my website:

www.strangerslikeangels.com
As you can tell, my interest in promoting their story has inspired me to connect with others and pursue my own ambitions to explore more overland experiences.
As a Land Rover family, I have plans to find my own Disco rig and outfit it for some epic adventures, if not local camping outings wife my wonderful with and charming pooch.
Cheers!
