I currently straddle two worlds: I'm a travel writer (print and digital articles, content development) and I also work in polar expedition marketing (video scripts, travel brochures, blog writing). While I occasionally write on urban travel (sussing out cool neighbours) my main passion lies in the outdoors. I write a lot about hiking, nature, sustainability, transformational travel. I'm also a Certified Hike Ontario hike leader. In 2019 I coauthored a nature guide book "110 Nature Hot Spots in Manitoba and Saskatchewan: The Best Parks, Conservation Area and Wild Places." I contribute to various Canadian and U.S.-based media brands.
