Hello from Dawson City, where I’m a week into a gig on the communications team for the Yukon Quest 1000-Mile International Sled Dog Race. I’ve been following the race from checkpoint to checkpoint (it started in Fairbanks and will end in Whitehorse), tweeting, updating Facebook, and writing news releases and short race updates for the [...]

My Year in Writing and Reading
Posted in Updates, tagged 2011, Reading, Writing on December 30, 2011 | 3 Comments »
It’s been a mixed bag of a year for me, writing-wise. Though I did manage to keep my resolution to write more in 2011, I started out on a low note, fresh off the World Hum layoffs at Travel Channel last November. The American road trip blogging gig that fell apart in May was another [...]

I’m home safe in Whitehorse after spending a month deep in the central Yukon wilderness. Lots more news and updates to come soon, meantime here’s a photo (taken from the helicopter) of the area where we were working.
Into the Bush

Just a short note to say I’m disappearing for the next three-plus weeks – I’ll be flying into a remote bush camp to work as a laborer, and will be incommunicado until mid-September. When I get back, I’ll catch up on the last days of my big road trip, my latest writing news, and of [...]

I’m headed home after two months on the road — I’m in Prince Rupert, BC, now, and will be back in Whitehorse by Sunday. Looking forward to settling back in to Yukon life.
Down the Coast

Since my last update I’ve traveled from Seattle to the Olympic Peninsula and along the Oregon and California coasts. It’s mostly been a national/state parks camping trip, with urban breaks in San Francisco and Los Angeles, my southernmost stop. I’m in Las Vegas now, looking forward to a loop through southern Utah before I head [...]
Bad News / Good News
Posted in Photos, Updates, tagged British Columbia, Oxford American Summit, Road Trips, TBEX, Vancouver on June 10, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Bad news first: My participation in the AOL/Ford road trip project fell apart at the last minute. It’s a complicated story, but essentially there was an issue with work visas, immigration regulations, and my being Canadian. So the show goes on without me. The good news is, since I had already packed up my things [...]
Big News: This American Road

At long last I’m able to announce my work/travel plans for the summer: I’ll be driving across the States and blogging the trip for Gadling and AOL Travel. The series is called This American Road, and it involves everything from tweets to videos, from personal dispatches at big-name tourist destinations to reported pieces on small [...]
