About the author, Gavin Teakle

Gavin K. Teakle

Gavin Teakle

Gavin Teakle is a British-born author, blogger and retired engineering professional who somehow survived a career in project management, marketing, quality assurance and oil & gas without once being crushed by machinery or getting run over by a bus.

Brought up in the UK, the home of lukewarm tea and understatement, he survived at one of the oldest schools on the planet and lived long enough to tell these tales. A rugby veteran and accidental survival specialist, Gavin once completed a survival course and still found plenty of ways to get into trouble afterwards.

Methodical and fairly organised, he is very loyal to Google Maps, prone to injuries and statistically unlucky for someone so careful. He now blogs for a living and writes about the curious business of staying alive without quite meaning to.

He has visited nearly 50 different countries and lived, worked and survived in five.
