\u201cI haven\u2019t been away for ages!\u201d Then all of a sudden the phone rings and I\u2019m off to Peru.
\n 
\nI\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll ever get over just how good my job can be, I refuse to be nonchalant about it too. It\u2019s exciting and I don\u2019t feel the need to pretend to be cool and take it all in my stride.
\n 
\nThe job was a commercial shoot for SAB Miller who have to produce a sustainability report. So recycling centres and water purification was what I expected\u2026 but certainly not what I got.
\n 
\nAfter an internal flight from Lima to Trujillo in the North and a further 3 hours drive I stood on a decollate road as a dude on a motorbike shot past shouting \u201cHey Gringo!\u201d I indeed was the only Gringo for miles, let alone the only ginger lad!
\n 
\nWith my pale skin burning like bacon in a pan\u2026 (with the same smell too) I got on with my job, shooting Jorge\u2019 a Maze farmer who has been helped by SAB to market his wares further afield and not to just exist on his crop which is no longer a viable option.
\n 
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n 
\nIt was a short trip, and I certainly wasn\u2019t a tourist by any stroke of the imagination, but I\u2019d rather spend my time meeting the likes of Jorge than walking around Machu Picchu hoping for some divine enlightenment.
\n 
\nI\u2019m off to India next week, so stay tuned for the latest adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
