I’ve crafted a new series of Substacks where I speak with peers about their work — writing, photographing, philosophising, painting, etc. — what moves them, inspires them, keeps them going. As I evolve in my own writing routines, I’ve felt enriched and educated by these conversations. This is a practice I’ve set up to get to know more from and about other writers, artists, photographers through their lives and stories.

You can read the earlier conversations in this series here!

For this edition of Conversations, I speak with Nicholas Walton, journalist, author, communications strategist, podcaster and consultant. He is based in Italy and is currently working on his next book: Orange Sky, Rising Water, which attempts to explain the Netherlands’ past, present and the challenges of the future through ten different walks across it. He is currently documenting portions of his work and his walking on his  Ten Walks Explain Everything Substack. You can find him on LinkedIn, X, and listen to some of his BBC documentaries here.
