About John Burns
"Travel for me is about two fascinations coming together. On one hand; the human side of things – engaging with the history, art, culture and language of a place. On the other; the natural environment. Wherever I go, I try to take the opportunity to hike, climb, camp, run, scuba dive – anything I can do to get closer to the landscape and the wonder of nature. I try to focus on social and environmental sustainability when traveling – we're just guests in the places we visit, after all."
