Tom Dymond is a memoirist, ghostwriter, adventurer and sailor, in that very order. Raised in the southwest of England, he’s sailed some 40,000 miles, delivered mail through a pandemic, and discovered that life’s biggest revelations often arise when you’re lost, late, or slightly damp.
His Sailing Blue Eye Around the World series follows the circumnavigation he undertook in his twenties with more enthusiasm than nautical expertise. His latest book, Letters from a Postman, finds adventure in everyday chaos and existentialism even in a postal round.
Most recently, Tom kayaked 4,000 kilometres from Bristol to the Black Sea - largely to avoid answering emails, but also to be reminded that the natural world always awaits us. He writes to make readers laugh, think, and occasionally wonder how he’s still alive.
