For seven consecutive years as a child he trained in the mile distance, when running permanently late for his school bus. As an adult he turned to more leisurely and less timetabled adventures across continents on his bicycle and mountain passes by foot.

He currently writes about South America and beyond for a wide range of publications. His stories seek to draw on that clarity we have when living life with determination and truthfulness. You can read Matt’s article, “Ride the Divide” in issue X of Get Out There.
