About

I am based in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.  I am often asked where my favourite place in the world is.  The answer is simple; it’s usually where I’ve just been. It could be Tahiti, Wisconsin, the Galapagos, Ireland, Scotland, Niagara Falls, the Canadian Arctic or my own backyard.  Every destination has something special to explore.

I am a modern-day explorer, a wanderer driven by an insatiable curiosity. I have snorkelled around Tahiti and the other Society Islands. I have glacier trekked in the Canadian Arctic while Muskox looked on, danced around a fire in Kenya with the Samburu tribe and learned how to make the perfect tiramisu in Florence.

I love connecting with local people and making it a point to give back to the community. I fully support the “Pack for a Purpose” philosophy and regularly fill a suitcase with school or medical needs and handmade teddy bears.

I write about experiential adventure travel for the active over 50 travellers. I embrace outdoor activities such as hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, ziplining and snowshoeing. Immersing myself in history and culture allows me to grasp the essence of a destination. Local markets are a magnet for me.
