'Dom was one of the best - quiet but curious' Tributes paid to British journalist Dom Phillips who went missing in the Amazon earlier this month
I first met Dom in 2007 when he came to Brazil to finish writing a book about superstar DJs.
Unlike many journalists Dom didn't have opinions about everything, at least not loud ones. He always was calmer than everyone else. I can still see him now, smiling and rolling his eyes at some outrageous statement thrown across the table at our Friday night drinks. One of the doors into the Amazon was held open by Bruno Pereira, the indigenous rights activist who travelled with him on that last journey. Bruno knew the region where their boat vanished like the back of his hand.
