Bryn Thomas was born in Zimbabwe where he grew up on a farm. Since graduating from Durham University with a degree in anthropology, his travel on five continents has included a Saharan journey in a home-built kit-car, a solo 1500 mile cycle ride through the Andes, seven Himalayan treks, and 25,000 miles of rail travel. In 1992 he set up Trailblazer to produce the series of route guides for adventurous travelers that has now grown to almost 30 titles.
