Raphael Wilkins

Raphael Wilkins was born in Eltham, south-east London. He began his career in educations as a geography teacher in Bromley, before progressing to education officer posts in three other London Boroughs. Since 2001 he has worked as an education consultant, working with a number of national organisations and universities on matters of education policy, leadership and development. In his professional field he has published two books, as well as over 70 articles, book chapters and research reports. In 2007 his focus broadened to international consultancy, and the extensive global travel which that involved stimulated his desire to become a travel writer. An Educational Journey is his second volume of travel memoirs. He lives in Barnard Castle, County Durham.
