Currently based in western Canada, where she lives on a re-built lifeboat, Dani has lived in three countries, world cities including Tokyo and Toronto, and, together with her husband Toryn, has been lucky enough to spend time in dozens of countries. Favourite travel memories include having a herd of horses stolen by a sheepdog in Iceland (definitely more enjoyable to look back upon than in the moment!), pushing her grandfather in a wheelchair across the Camino from Sarria to Santiago, and exploring the small towns of the Netherlands via self-drive canal boat.
Dani has a BA in Cultural Anthropology and is currently working on an MA in Liberal Studies, with an interest in psychogeography and how places influence the way we think, feel, and act. The author of three non-fiction books for young readers and dozens of magazine articles on topics ranging from finance to travel, Dani loves to share information with others in an accessible, engaging manner.
Having previously led small group walking tours and worked as a pedicab driver, Dani parlays her experience as a tour guide, traveller, author, and researcher into richly woven tales of the world around us.
