A storyteller at heart, I love meeting new people, learning from a myriad of global perspectives, and shining a light on dark places where human rights are shelved for power and profit. For over a dozen years, I’ve been the proud target of public vitriol in print, online, and over the air. In between television hits and newspaper articles, I pour my heart and soul into my travel blog, aspiring not only to provide some perspective on roads less travelled, but some useful travel itineraries for beginner, intermediate and advanced adventurers. I like to think this website is unique among travel blogs because I often live in a country or work there, which gives me different insight from your average wanderlust tourist. 

My background

I’m an award-winning journalist from Canada. Oui, je parle français aussi. Since 2012, I’ve reported from 11 countries across North America, Central America, Africa, and Europe, covering everything from burgeoning Ugandan kung fu movie stars to deadly Al-Shebaab terrorist attacks. I’ve worked as an investigative journalist on Canada’s Parliament Hill, a television journalist for Global News, and a media trainer for Journalists for Human Rights in Tunisia.

Today, I work as a communicator, storyteller and volunteer out of Vancouver, British Columbia. I’m dreaming up my next big adventure, and through the pages of this blog, I hope you’ll join me.
