In the seventies I graduated in journalism from Toronto’s Ryerson University and began my journey to the far corners of Canada and the world. I worked at small weeklies in the remote north but soon headed south to hitch-hike through Mexico. Not the best option for a young female, but what did I know?
My next stops were in Japan at Kyodo Newswire, reporting at The Hong Kong Standard and at a rural daily in New Zealand. This was not the glamorous life of a foreign correspondent sent overseas but the kind of low-paying jobs a traveller gets on the spot to fund their ongoing journey. And travel I did: to Siberia, China, Tibet, Nepal, Burma, Thailand, Australia, Central America, and Peru, before circling back in 2000 to where I started my journey … in Mexico City editing The News.
Since then I’ve volunteered with orphanages and animal shelters in India. My novel, Sutra of the Pearl, released in December, 2020, is a fictionalized version of those adventures.
My travels far from over, as soon as Greece emerges from covid lockdown that’s where I’m headed to research my next novel.
