Australian based journalist Huw Kingston has become the most ardent ambassador of Greece, singing its praises to the Australian media.
Huw Kingston is working as a travel journalist and he is also the owner of a company that organizes adventure tours. He has a passion for exploration and adventure, which led him to set out on a journey circumnavigating the Mediterranean by sea kayak, ski, trekking and mountain bike, raising funds for Save the Children for the work they do with children affected by war and conflict.
While in Greece, Huw was particularly impressed by the beauty of the country, its beaches and the hospitality of the locals.
“The people I meet, although I do not know them personally, seem very excited to see me and many of them invite me to their homes,” he says.
As part of his project titled ‘Mediterr Anee’, Huw set off from Gallipoli in Turkey on April 26 and intends to ride, trek, sea kayak and ski his way across 20 countries, including Greece, France, Spain, Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria.
During his stay in Greece he participated in Athens classic marathon and one day he dreams of crossing the Corinth Canal in his canoe.
