Sam's
preferred geographical coverage
Sam
Hollis is a freelance reported covering the Caribbean
Sea, and countries bordering the West Indies. He was the newsman who
broke the Panamanian Running Man story, having tracked down the backpacker and Youtube
blogger, Marjorie
Boyle.
Sam
is a roving reporter based at the Trinidad Bugle. He
is a keen member of the Caribbean Athletics Association and covers the Commonwealth Games.
He was once a competitive runner, and still keeps himself fit. He is single, not having found that special lady. But always on the look out - almost as much as he loves a good story.
He is very fond of the shapely Marjorie Boyle.
He stays in touch with Charley Temple and
Steve
Green, sharing common
interests. Especially after hearing of Charley's kidnap along the Amazon.
Like
all reporters in the Caribbean, he keeps his ears to the ground for snippets
as to Blackbeard
and Captain
Henry Morgan's unrecovered treasure. He
is conscious of looting at archaeologically important sites like Port
Royal, and the work of Blue
Shield. He also knows the history as to how plantations
were farmed using imported slaves from Africa, and that this was
unashamedly a royal enterprise.
Sam
is aware of the adventurous explorer and climate champion, John
Storm and his amazing ship, the Elizabeth
Swann. In this adventure, he gets to interview John and Hal
for the BBC
world service and Jill Bird, live with Jill
Bird in London, as to the breaking news story, of John
finding the remains of Henry
Morgan, suspicious that no treasure
was found, he suspects that John is keeping his cards close to his chest.
