Three years ago I left my job as a tech reporter at Tortoise Media, deleted all my online accounts, and set off without a phone, to journey from London to North Wales on a tiny narrowboat.

On that journey I met a carpenter called Lewis. He took me on as an apprentice and we travelled around the country building saunas for a year.

Approaching the end of my apprenticeship, I heard rumours of a workshop nestled in a mountain forest in Corris, North Wales, where a team of young carpenters were crafting the finest saunas in the lands. I applied to join, and spent a year there working as a carpenter.

And now I’m working for Jamie’s Farm, on the side of a hill in South Wales, managing the build of two pretty epic cabins.
