As a freelance travel writer my mission is to become a local in each place I visit. Depending on the day, that can mean hiking through Bolivian cloud forests, dancing in the Sevilla Ferķa, surfing on the Washington coast, or shopping in the New York Garment District. I've been busy lately, contributing to four new travel guidebooks due out in 2011 and 2012. First up is Scenic Driving Atlantic Canada from Globe Pequot Press. Find a full listing in the in print section. Currently based in Vancouver, Canada, I have also lived in the U.K. and Nova Scotia while photographing and traveling far and wide.
