About Charlie

In my early 20’s I worked in the Swiss Alps as a ski rep where I acquired the ski guiding nickname ‘Pocket Rocket’ because I was fast and I’m only 5ft tall! Then my first ever travel adventure was a 2 month road trip around 33 states in America on a tour called ‘The Trailblazer’  So when I started designing my travel channel, the name just came to me and ‘Pocket Trailblazer’ was born!

 

My mum told me when I was a kid that you had to find the thing that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and do that! My dad told me that you are a long time working so you should find a job you enjoy and if you truly love it, just keep battling and the money will follow.

​

I basically live my life by these two concepts along with my own favourite phrase which is "you can make more money, you can't make more time" 

 

My main inspiration has always been film and everything to do with it. I’m a massive film score geek and even listen to epic soundtrack music whilst running! If I ever feel like I’ve lost that energy I just go watch a film on the big screen and it gives me goosebumps. 

​

For 8 years, I had been working freelance in movie production in the UK but after finally making it to the big budget blockbusters I realised that I if I carried on, I was only ever going to be working to build other peoples dreams so I QUIT to build my own story and started Pocket Trailblazer
