For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to see a Tiger in the wild. India will always be close to my heart for making that lifelong wish a reality.

My first guiding trip was to Ranthambhore, working alongside Andy Rouse and the late, great Aditya "Dicky" Singh. I have many fond memories of those early trips, from long days in the park searching for tigers to sitting around the fire afterwards, drinking, joking and talking about the day's sightings.

India has given me some of my most memorable wildlife experiences, and it's a place I never seem to tire of returning to.
