As a travel writer, I sometimes get to experience destinations, accommodations and activities so luxurious and exclusive* that my parents—avid world travellers themselves who prefer not to stay in places with fewer than 10 choices on the wine list—feel like they ‘slum it’ in comparison.
SBC Business magazine regularly publishes how-to pieces that are massive undertakings. It’s like, “You have 800 words, interview these 9 people.” The problem is, I don’t ever want to cut the list of people my editor gives me to make the number of interviewees better reflect the word count.

The garish graphics on shiny fabric, the way the padded, clingy shorts make the wearer appear knock-kneed, the obnoxious click of the footwear when not [...]
One of the highlights of 2011 was definitely a trip to Silver Star Mountain. I’d mountain biked there in the summer of 2010 (and had a bruise to prove it for several months after), but last December was my first time visiting the colourful village under a blanket of snow, and Silver Star totally put [...]
