Freelance Travel Writer

I am blessed to be living my dream job as a full-time travel writer. I travel several times per month, exploring every corner of the world.

And while it’s exciting to visit new places, my heart lies in North America’s west coast and specifically the Pacific Northwest. I currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia and have an outdoor paradise right at my doorstep.

I primarily cover the luxury travel sector and travel with my kids as often as possible (outside of hockey season), showing them as much of the world as possible.
