About Me

I am a lawyer by trade and a travel writer by desire. In 1995 my wife, Alison Scott and I published Exploring Nova Scotia, the most comprehensive guide to our home province ever produced. It was a success that went through six editions and  became a Canadian best seller, the last edition coming in 2010.. In addition to keeping the book current during this time I wrote primarily about eastern Canada for a number of publications including Saltscapes, RV Gazette, the Saint John Telegram, the Halifax Herald, Cross Country Skier and others. In addition I have written about numerous other destinations as diverse as Andorra and French Polynesia. In 2014 I launched my revamped website and create detailed travel content on a weekly basis. Currently there are over 660 posts from over forty countries with thousands of photos. You can find copies or links to all my articles on my website.

In 2019 I was elected President of TMAC and also served as Treasurer of the Canadian Chapter of SATW.

In 2020 our latest book The Nova Scotia Bucket list came out and sold very well for Nova Scotians looking for things to do outside during the pandemic. The spring of 2024 will see a revised 2nd edition.
