Selected Travel Stories

From first-person features, to detailed travel guides, to lists of the best, biggest or baddest, this collection shows the range of my travel writing. The stories differ in style but they all encourage readers to dream, while providing the practical details needed for planning. In some cases these stories have led to radio and TV appearances in Canada, the USA and South America:
