I am a Canadian travel writer with a passion and skill for both storytelling and crafting practical, carefully researched guides. My first-person narratives and reporting on unique outdoor experiences, wildlife and conservation, food, traditional artisans, adventure, under-the-radar destinations and unique hotels have been published in TIME, The Independent, CNN Travel, NYTimes Style Magazine, The Australian, Postcards Magazine, The Toronto Star and more. Coming May 2025, Fodor's "Essential Vietnam" guidebook, 3rd edition.
A Laos and Vietnam expert, I have covered both countries extensively for Travelfish travel guides. My latest guide research/writing includes Fodor's Essential Vietnam guidebook, reviewing cruise ships for Fodors.com, and "Everything you need to know before you go" Mexico Travel Guide for The Independent. I cover a range of budgets, from backpacker to ultra-luxury.
Home is currently Mexico, whenever I am not on assignment around the globe. You'll frequently find me in Laos, Vietnam, Switzerland and Canada. Favourite destinations in recent years include Rwanda, Colombia and Patagonia.
