I currently straddle two worlds: I'm a travel writer (print and digital articles, content development) and I also work in polar expedition marketing (video scripts, travel brochures, blog writing). While I occasionally write on urban travel (sussing out cool neighbours) my main passion lies in the outdoors. I write a lot about hiking, nature, sustainability, transformational travel. I'm also a Certified Hike Ontario hike leader. In 2019 I coauthored a nature guide book "110 Nature Hot Spots in Manitoba and Saskatchewan: The Best Parks, Conservation Area and Wild Places." I contribute to various Canadian and U.S.-based media brands.
Networking, connecting with travel brands that haven't been on my radar so far
The Arctic, Nepal, India, Haida Gwaii in British Columbia, Jordan, small-town Canada, Iceland, remote Quebec. You just had to ask!
South Georgia Island (in the Antarctic), Japan (for hiking and coffee houses) and the Faroe Islands.
While working at Toronto Life as a young gaffer, I was sent to Finland – where I discovered it looked much like my home province of Ontario, minus the herring at breakfast. The Finns kept assuming I was Russian. Could never figure that one out.
How to produce (and use) short video effectively. Secondly, what travel content works best for destinations, properties, DMOs today compared to 5 or 10 yeas ago.
Travelling should help us: LEARN (about others and ourselves); RESPECT (our differences); and be INSPIRED.
