I clutched my first passport in my eager hand at the age of ten. The writing bug followed when I won a summer essay contest as a teenager. After a successful business career not focused on traveling or writing, I swapped suits for boots to walk my first of three pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Since then, journal in hand and camera at the ready, I’ve explored the world with an eye for meaningful adventures and profound experiences.

Born in Canada to English immigrants, I moved to California for love and married an American. After thirty years, I’m still adjusting to the dry, sunny climate (and the American.)

When I’m not traveling or writing, I may be spotted racewalking, doing tai chi, or talking to the neighbor’s cat.

My adventure-filled travel memoir, That Pilgrimage Book: Breaking Free on the Camino to Santiago, will be ready for publication in 2025.

In the meantime, I invite readers, listeners, and adventurers to follow my journey:
