Writing

I’ve spent 30 years writing about travel, food, entertainment and lifestyle topics for newspapers and magazines around the world. A past contributor to the weekend features section of the Financial Times in London, I've also written for the FT's The Business and How To Spend It magazines.

As well, my travel articles have been published in The Japan Times and The South China Morning Post (Hong Kong) weekly magazines, Ladies' Home Journal, British Harper's Bazaar, Physicians' Travel & Meeting Guide in the US (I am the magazine's international travel editor), Europe (the Washington-based magazine of the European Union), The Sunday Times of London, The Continental, Air Canada and Alitalia in-flight magazines and a variety of newspapers in the US and Canada, including Toronto-based The Globe & Mail, Toronto Star and The National Post.

My travels have taken me across Canada and the US, through Europe and to Australia, Lebanon, Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, Botswana, Dubai, French Polynesia, India, Nepal.

From 1994-1999, I served as editor of GUSTO!, a National Magazine Award-winning food and wine quarterly published by The Globe and Mail.

Aside from my travel, my lifestyles and entertainment articles have appeared in such US magazines as Premiere, Art & Entertainment Monthly, Art & Antiques, Domain (the quarterly magazine of Sotheby's International luxury real estate collection), Troika, and Emmy, the magazine of the US television academy.

I've contributed articles on architecture and design to The Globe and Mail's Report on Business magazine and served on the judging panel for the National Magazine Awards. I've also written dozens of celebrity profiles.
