I love to travel and love to talk to people who love to  talk about travel!  I've been at it since 1967 when I visited nine European destinations on a school trip and kept a detailed diary of all my experiences. At present I've been to 82 countries and territories. I've presented keynotes, seminars and workshops at hundreds of industry events across Canada, the United States as well as internationally.  My style has been described as "energetic, electric, interactive and effective", and my use of highly creative visuals is both educational, entertaining and fun.
