I have traveled independently and as a solo traveler for 35 years. Group travel has a high single supplement. People often asked how I had managed to travel so much, not live in " flea bag " hotels but still pay for a single room and have a wonderful and safe time. There are a lot of single or solo travelers out there who would love to see how others live and we need to tap into this market. I, therefore started free-lance writing in 1992 for:

TravelScoop, a magazine for independent travelers (printed out of Toronto). TravelScoop is the longest surviving subscription magazine in Canada.
Connecting-Solo Travel News magazine (printed out of Vancouver)
Vancouver Sun Newspaper and
Vancouver Province Newspaper

I worked in several Vancouver hospitals for 35 years in their outpatient, admitting, surgical and bedbooking departments. I therefore have an interest in the health systems of other countries. I love dining and trying new food and wine. Have been to over three thousand restaurants in Vancouver. Obviously I like to eat rather than cook. Theatre, musicals, dance and film are a passion!
