TRAVEL ARTICLES

Growing up in Newfoundland, Canada, gave me a taste for rugged landscapes and a special fondness for islands. I’ve also lived on two quite different islands—Manhattan and Ocracoke NC—as well as in Ottawa, Montreal, Washington DC, southern Louisiana, New York’s Finger Lakes region and now the North Carolina Piedmont. Travel destinations I’m especially familiar with include Eastern Canada, the American Southeast and Panama. Wherever I travel, I try to soak in as much as I can of the soul of a place through its history, landscape, people, music, literature, art and food. I’m especially interested in ecotourism and active travel. Selected publications include:

The New York Times

• Port-hopping on the St. Lawrence
• Labrador's elemental appeal

Our State

• Moving Midway

The Chapel Hill News -- “Stone’s Throw” monthly travel column

• Whirligig maker knows which way the wind blows
