Later this year Daniel is heading back to Colombia to explore The Black Water one of the longest and most remote rivers in the world. In keeping with Daniel's ecological priorities he will be using a traditional dug out canoe provided by local indigenous people of this region.

Daniel travels without support, he uses local guides and relies on foraging and fishing for his food. To find out more about The Blackwater expedition and keep up to date with Daniel's progress go to Daniel's webpage at www.merchanttraveller.com or click here.
