Why do I love seeing the Canadian arctic on expedition cruises with Adventure Canada? My latest story for Zoomer (the Feb/March issue is on newsstands): jenniferbain.co/wp-content/u...

Have you toured the mid-century modern international lounge (a public space) at Gander International Airport in Newfoundland? Sometimes the best part of a story (this one is for Zoomer: jenniferbain.co/wp-content/u...) is the chance to run a photo.

I've always been a newspaper-style writer - writing each story as it comes. Every now and then, I get to write a retrospective, — like this "birds I've seen around the world" piece for Zoomer (in the Feb/March issue on newsstands): jenniferbain.co/wp-content/u...

I've spent the weekend communing with Woody the Talking Christmas Tree in the Mic Mall Mall in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Story to come in @moderntraveller.bsky.social on this freakish indoor roadside attraction (ballpark 55 feet)!

Winning awards brings $ and the chance to revisit favourite stories. My story on the feral cats of San Juan won bronze in the SATW Canadian Chapter awards + my photo of Inuit drum dancers in Nunavut won gold.

It was one of those "mountain reflects in glassy lake" days as I finally got to see how Jasper National Park + the town of Jasper are doing after devastating summer wildfires. Marmot Basin opens for skiing Nov. 22. Jasper's hotels/restaurants are ready for visitors to return. #travelwriting

Sometimes you just "see" a story, like when I learned about the man who brings his Newfoundland dog to Signal Hill National Historic Site in St. John's. I found him on Facebook + made sure they were there for photos the day I went to hike. #travelwriting www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2024/10/meet...

Lonely Planet got me through Europe + Asia, so it was an honour to co-author Lonely Planet Atlantic Canada (May 2024). I wrote the Newfoundland & Labrador chapter + essays on knitting culture + wildlife like puffins. These guidebooks are updated every two years so that work begins in 2025 for 2026.
