Duncan was born in Wimbledon, London, but at the age of three, his family moved to a mixed fruit farm in the middle of 100 acres of Rhodesian (now Zimbabwe) bush.
An unusual early childhood was spent nearly always barefoot, often with only the company of a younger sister and the African children of farm workers. He spent a lot of time off in the bush learning self-reliance and about the natural world.
At the age of eighteen, he got a job on a sugar cane farm in Zululand, South Africa.
In the following years, he worked on Feature Films, as a boat-fitter and engineer in Greece, and as a cabinet maker, carpenter and builder.
He became in his own words – “A Jack of all trades”.In 1980, almost by accident, he took a degree in Visual Art at Aberystwyth University. And in the years after graduation, he has added Theatre Designer and Tour Guide to his C.V. He is now a full-time Travel Writer and is working on a series of Historical Novels set in the 1800s.
He lives in Aberystwyth west Wales with his family.
He has been a motorcyclist since an early age. Every year since 1999 he has travelled in Europe on his Moto Guzzi.
“The first time I visited Spain I felt at ease, like I was coming home. That feeling has only deepened over the years.”
