I am the creator of Destinations Detours and Dreams, which explores the familiar and the obscure, near and far, with a focus on history, nature, culture, art, architecture, and food. I love to explore wherever I am and dig into the background of the places I visit. Every place and every person has a story to tell. I share those stories through narrative, photographs and person reflection.

I am a writer, former information technology professional, reader, music lover, traveler, dreamer and doer.

I write about places around the world but have a special focus on my hometown and home province Winnipeg, Manitoba. I also feature a section on the snowbird life, the life of those who escape their cold northern climates for warmer places farther south in the winter.
