About me:

I'm a travel journalist (print, web, TV -- no kidding) based in Vancouver, B.C. This town is so gorgeous it's a wonder I ever leave! My work has appeared in major media such as the Boston Globe, Globe & Mail, and even the South China Morning Post, and a load of other media. I'm also editor of Canada's major gay travel magazine, Out In Canada (www.outincanada.ca). You can learn lots more about me at www.RandallShirley.com.

I'm fresh back from Halifax & Quebec City. You can read all about it on my website, and watch major newspapers for my stories.

My all-time favourite destination (always go once a year) is New York City. There is NOTHING better than a Broadway show. I speak Mandarin, and adore Taiwan. I'm also a big fan of South Korea. To my eyes, the most beautiful people are in Sweden, and the best food is in Mexico (mole, anyone?). I love flying, despite the horrid airport conditions these days. My next trip?
