I’m a career journalist and former Toronto Star staff writer and National Newspaper Awards winner (Arts & Entertainment), now based in Victoria, B.C. and working as a freelance food and travel writer. As a former film critic with the Star. I have a real interest in screen-based tourism stories. I’m a member of TMAC, SATW and IFWTWA and I cover British Columbia, Canadian and international travel. My work focuses on unusual and offbeat travel storytelling, the quirky twist or interesting cultural angles that appeal to curious readers who want to know more about luxury travel experiences and intriguing places. My work has won awards from TMAC, SATW and NATJA. My travel stories appear in print and digital publications in Canada and the United States, including the Zoomer, InsideHook.com, Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun, Post Media, YAM Magazine, Best Side Magazine, Vacay.ca and Vacay Networks and Cruise and Travel Lifestyles. I am a regular contributor to Edible Vancouver and Edible Vancouver Island magazines.
