Peter Snelson
Peter has spent a great deal of his life travelling and living in different countries across the globe, absorbing different cultures and traditions. The ideas behind The Sixth Handshake came to him during a four year stint on his yacht Lady M. The pre requisite for friends to join him was a funny book, a ‘weird’ CD, and a true ghost story or coincidence. Everybody had the latter.
The book was started 14 years ago during his eight years stay in Thailand and finally finished where he now lives with his family in Andalucia, Spain.
He is also the CEO of 30 Day Extensions Ltd, London.
Who is Peter Snelson?
From 1978 – 2003 Peter had been involved in every aspect of property starting as an Estate agent where he spent time working for Sturgis & Son Chiswick, and Richard Barclay, Clapham.
Thereafter he became a property developer and then a property dealer, mainly operating in South London (1984 – 2003).
From 2003-2007, Peter took four years out and lived on his yacht, a Jeanneau 43 DS, called Lady M.
He sailed from Salcombe, across Biscay, to the Mediterranean. He lived in Barcelona, Ibiza, Corfu and Montenegro. He started a company called Dom in Montenegro and operated for two years from the port of Bar buying land in Tivat and Kotor.
Peter then moved with his wife to Thailand where he wrote Thailand Diaries, and started writing The Sixth Handshake. He also wrote for local newspapers and magazines. Using his sailing knowledge, he invented and operated floating bars on the sea, as well as floating furniture (this is an ongoing project), under the name of Blue Ocean Bars (BOB).
Peter returned to the UK in 2015 and started House Extension Wandsworth, now known as 30 day Extensions Ltd, which he will shortly be franchising with branches across Southern England.
He has just formalised the successful drawing/design department, and called it 30 Day Architecture Ltd.
Peter's book The Sixth Handshake is now published and he is producing a mini film to promote it.
Peter currently lives in Andalucía, Spain with his wife, and son, and commutes to London to oversee the companies.
