Well, we had a great time at the Nova Scotia Seafood Festival yesterday. Lots of great food, and what's more, great story ideas. I received a media pass from the Department of Aquaculture (thank you, Jennifer Bourque!), and made sure that I was there for the opening of the event.

The festival was a great chance to break out of my mold. Try new things. New foods. Meet new people. And now I have at least three article ideas from my short time there. Now, to find markets for those articles....

And it goes a little something like this

It's spring. The snow is gone, the weather is warming up, and new life is beginning anew.

Another thing that is starting up again is my writing. After two years of putting my freelance writing on the back burner (see previous posts), it's finally time to get back into my passion.

While I plan to write about the things I still love - science, technology, space - I also plan on branching into a wonderful new field. I hope to start producing travel pieces.

It's a natural fit for me. I love to travel, and do so for work quite frequently throughout Atlantic Canada and beyond. So why not do combine the two? I've had numerous pieces published in the past, including my very first one, so I think it should be an easy fit.

I look forward to new experiences and new adventures. And I hope that you'll follow along as well. I will not only be writing for publications, but will also update my travel blog as well.

So feel free to follow along and see where I end up!
