Biography

I am a modern-day explorer, a wanderer driven by an insatiable curiosity. I have snorkelled around Tahiti and the other Society Islands. I have glacier trekked in the Canadian Arctic while Muskox looked on, danced around a fire in Kenya with the Samburu tribe and learned how to make the perfect tiramisu in Florence. I consider my age (over 60) a gift in my travels. I bring wisdom and experience and a major ‘if not now, when' attitude with heavy lashings of humour, which is required in any kind of travel. I love connecting with local people and making it a point to give back to the community. I fully support the “Pack for a Purpose” philosophy and regularly fill a suitcase with school or medical needs and handmade teddy bears. I have been published in The Independent, Reader's Digest UK, CAA Magazine, Fodors, World Nomads, Family Fun Canada, Canadian Yachting Magazine, Canadian Jewish News, The Toronto Star, Kitchener Waterloo Record, Caribbean Beat Magazine, Waypoints Global, Active Over 50, and Inspired Seniors. I am a member of the Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC), Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) and SATW (Society for American Travel Writers) and Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance (OCTA).
