Walk the streets of Dublin with ghost of Leopold Bloom, take in the Berlin nightlife, plot a mystery novel in Provence with Jessica Fletcher, photograph thousands of sandhill cranes in Nebraska, explore the Mayan ruins of Honduras or Guatemala, toss down beers with the ladies in the famed Key Largo bar in Costa Rica, watch whales off the coast of Virginia or in Canada's Bay of Fundy, trek the Scottish Highlands or the Ulster Way, bird-watch from the veranda of a Trinidadian great house or a flatbed truck in the Venezuelan Llanos, take in a spot of jazz in Sydney or a pot of tea in London, wander the battlefields of France, sail the Caribbean, ride the rails in luxury in Australia.

For the second time in four years, naturaltraveler.com has won the Canadian Tourism Commission’s Northern Lights Award for Internet Reporting, this time for my article entitled: "Newfoundland, Where Landscape Defines Literature." It is another in a series of journalism awards writers for the site have won over the past few years. I am particularly proud of this award because the article calls attention to the kind of innovative, in-depth coverage, by my fellow journalists, that defines naturaltraveler.com. It also represents the level of planning and cooperation that goes into articles for the website. Beginning with the premise that many people choose a destination on the basis of a beautifully wrought piece of fiction, I found a wonderful example in Newfoundland and worked closely with Gillian Marx of Newfoundland & Labrador Media Relations, who was indispensible in setting up the interviews with the world-class authors who are quoted in the article. I feel I share this award with Gillian and her colleagues.
