Randall Shirley's Page

Hello. I'm a full-time writer based in paradise, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It's a wonder I ever leave, but I do have an insatiable wanderlust. So, with great frequency, my handsome husband drops me off at YVR International Airport and my journeys around the globe continue.

I'm self-employed (love it!), and am contracted as editor of Canada's gay & lesbian travel magazine, Out In Canada.

I also write and manage much of the content on the site that connects gay travelers on cruise ships, MeetMeOnBoard.com.

You also may have spotted my work in The Boston Globe, WestJet Up!, The Chicago Tribune, The Calgary Herald, on SHAW TV, or even in the South China Morning Post.

I'm game to go just about anywhere, anytime! Even in this era of airplanes-as-buses, I still love the experience of flying.

Favourite destinations:

• New York City
• Buenos Aires
• Quebec City
• Taipei
• San Diego
• Yellowstone National Park
• Any cruise ship, anytime!
• 
  Great news! My Arctic Cruise story, which was first published by the Boston Globe, just won me 1st Prize, Independent Journalist, Newspaper, in the prestigious Northern Lights Awards sponsored by the Canadian Tourism Commission. Off to NYC (bummer!) to pick up the award in mid-April.
