Background.
Gareth has been travelling since the 1960s, and writing about the world since he first joined the Sunday Times in 1981.
Today he contributes travel and destinations articles to the Mail on Sunday, Viestra Magazine and Hourglass, the Extinction Rebellion newspaper.
His curiosity about the world is as keen as ever, leading him to the ancient walls of Derry in N Ireland, to the modern phenomenon of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, new cities rising out of the desert, to the thrill of new, booming Berlin.
In his reports from the world Gareth strives to be different, fresh, inquisitive. And above all, well-informed.
