Nick Hunt is a writer, storyteller and editor whose work explores the relationship between society and landscape. He is best known for two travel books. In Walking the Woods and the Water, Nick retraces Patrick Leigh Fermor’s seminal walk from Holland to Istanbul. In Where the Wild Winds Are, he walks the invisible pathways of four European winds - the Helm Bora, Foehn and Mistral - observing their impact on landscapes, people and culture. His third travel book, Outlandish: Walking Europe’s Unlikely Landscapes, will be published in May 2021. Nick also helps edit the journal of The Dark Mountain Project, a cultural movement in search of stories that can help us respond to the climate emergency with a 'hope beyond hope'.
