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.

I am a part-time volunteer ESL teacher at the JFS (but a professor and poet as a day job!). Anyways, your mom has promised me a signed photo of yourself one day, because I think that you’ll one day be a “great” International journalist and/or theatrical actress… So, I thought I should get this item now, before it becomes way to difficult (and expensive!) in the near future. (NOTE: This is a “non-paid” announcement!)
Stay in Touch with us Larry and theresa
You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation but I find this topic to
be really one thing that I think I would never understand.
It sort of feels too complex and extremely large for
me. I’m having a look ahead for your next put up, I’ll
attempt to get the cling of it!
I think the admin of this web page is truly working hard in support of his web
site, because here every data is quality based information.
