The Captain and The Cook explore the world by land and by sea. Our website is jam-packed with travel tips, budget tourism, fabulous things to see and do, and incredible places to visit. We immerse ourselves in off-the-beaten-track adventures, local culture and food, nature on land and underwater, street art, wine tasting, sailing destinations, live-aboard life, and recipes, including cooking on a boat and cooking with local ingredients.
A brief introduction. My name is Georgina and my passion for exploring started, as it does for a lot of people, with David Attenborough programmes. As a young child, I remember saying I was going to be an explorer just like him and travel to wild jungles, mountains and polar regions in search of exotic places and creatures. Of course as a grown up you realise you don't have the same budget as David but I've been very lucky and have made it to some unbelievably wild and exotic places and had my share of funny, emotional and ,on occasion, traumatic experiences, which I will to share in my blogs.
