Words have power
I use words like an artist uses a brush…look, listen but don’t rush. Look around you, take time to soak it in, let life astound you. Get outside and appreciate the weather. Do it without hesitation. Soak in the surroundings for valuable inspiration. Observing changes over time; the seasons in the fields around me, the colours of the sea and walking the coastline.
I turn words into meaningful events, and sell them like ice cream when the crowds pitch their tents. Or in the Autumn, I'll stack them like hay, and roll them into bales after catching waves in the bay. When winter comes I use them as kindling to burn, and keep the house warm while the pages start to turn. And then it's back to spring, building words into projects while letting others do their thing.
Words have power to shape our lives, surrounded by love or entangled by lies. So while the paper is my canvas, and the pen is my brush, if it’s words you're looking for, then please, do get in touch.

A wordsmith in Cornwall
Ben Rowswell grew up in the cattle market town of Liskeard, spending time with friends, finding adventures in the surrounding woods, camping out on the moors, riding bikes and skateboarding around during the 80's and 90's.
His passion for travel and adventure developed during a trip through South Africa whilst finishing school, then continued whilst working on Cornwall's beaches as a lifeguard, spending summers surfing and winters on expeditions in remote areas of the world.
All these experiences have distilled in to developing a passion for inspiring others to get outside, engage with nature, and find their own adventures.
