ADVENTURER/AUTHOR

Tim Cope is a 29-year old professional adventurer, author, and film-maker whose passions have led him to riding a bicycle for 14 months across Russia and Mongolia to China, rowing a wooden boat 4,500km along the Yenisey River in Siberia to the Arctic Ocean, and most recently three years on horseback from Mongolia to Hungary on the trail of Ghengis khan and the nomads.

To date he is the author of OFF THE RAILS: MOSCOW TO BEIJING BY BICYCLE (Penguin 2003), and maker of two documentary films for ABC Australia and National Geographic Channel. He is currently writing a book, and making a new film series for ABC. Tim was awarded Australian Adventurer of the Year 2006, is a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, and in November 2007 was honoured by National Geographic in Washington DC at the annual awards as cultural ambassador who traced the equine journeys of Genghis Khan 6,200 miles from Mongolia to Hungary.

In the January - March 2008 edition of Australian Geographic an 18 page feature about Tim's remarkable journey from Mongolia to Hungary has been published. It features not previously seen images from Tim's transparency collection and made the front cover.
