I am proudly Canadian for several heartfelt reasons:
Born and bred on Vancouver Island, BC — I grew up on Canada’s west coast, with a deep, lifelong connection to its landscapes and culture.
A champion of Canadian tourism, I left a corporate job in Edmonton (and a stint in Germany) in 2002 to help build EH Canada Travel with my brother. I spent over a decade traveling coast-to-coast, researching, writing, photographing, and supporting local Canadian communities.
Environmental and outdoor advocate—I am a wilderness backpacker, camping lover, snowboarding, golf, photography enthusiast, and regular voice on CBC and Global and other media talking up Canada’s great outdoors.
Deep commitment to “boots‑on‑the‑ground” research—Colin and I visited 1200+ communities, explored thousands of parks and trails, and created Canada’s largest independent travel site out of sheer passion and perseverance.
In short: I am proudly Canadian because I was born here, built my career here, championed Canadian tourism tirelessly, explored coast-coast-coast and I live and breathe Canada’s wild spirit every single day.
Happy Canada Day!
