Ben Colclough

Adventure travel entrepreneur and occasional travel writer

Ben Colclough has traveled widely, with years of backpacking and adventure trips under his belt. He runs online adventure travel agent, Tourdust.com and regularly visits all corners of the globe trekking and researching adventure travel experiences.

After a round the world trip that included sailing across the Atlantic and traveling overland from Singapore through China, Mongolia and Russia all the way back to the UK, Ben decided to quit his job running a turned parts factory and set up Tourdust.com to connect travelers with great local outfitters. He's visited countless countries and dabbled with solo backpacking, traveling with kids (three girls under 5!) and long term house swaps. He writes about the rights, wrongs and ethics of travel at the Tourdust Blog.
