Irene roams the world for six months each year with her photographer husband Rick. Extended travel has fine tuned their budgeting skills, although indulging in the occasional luxury resort is not out of the question. Since "re-styling", as Irene has dubbed their retirement, they have trekked through 72 countries. Learning to see the world from the perspective of other cultures is a continual quest. Irene is the author of Trekking the Globe with (mostly) Gentle Footsteps: Twelve Countries in Twelve Months. Her stories have been published in Air Canada Vacations, Canadian Traveller, Outpost Magazine, Transitions Abroad, Senior's Magazines, numerous BC community newspapers, and Ezines.

Areas of Expertise: cultural/historical, adventure, eco-travel, budgeting, retreats and resorts, off-the-beaten path travel. Contributing writer for www.travelwriterstales.com Member of TMAC (Travel Media Association of Canada) & Federation of BC Writers.
