Introduction

If you're looking for a writer who covers the same old destinations that appear in every other magazine or articles that follow a dull guidebook style template, alas I'm not the writer you're looking for. However if you're seeking an insight into oft-overlooked spots or a new twist on an old favourite, check out my clippings and email me immediately! I've travelled extensively in Latin America, Africa, Asia and western Europe, visiting 44 countries to date. My last trip took me through the UAE, India, Nepal, China and the enigmatic world of North Korea. I'm currently enjoying (enduring?) my first taste of Canadian winter and am trying to keep out the cold with ice skating, dog sledding and helping with the ice wine harvest. Next stop: Quebec's ice hotel. Can't wait to start writing for you!

Experience & Expertise

I write on topics as varied as hippo feeding, wine tasting, getting spiritual, ESL, voluntourism, wildlife encounters for the terrified, seeking out the perfect beer... I travel widely and can offer a wealth of fresh, lively articles with pics. Contact me - I might just have what you're looking for!
