Published by Wilderness Press in September 2009, Walking Vancouver includes 36 short guided strolls around the city and beyond. Whether it’s in Stanley Park or Steveston, Granville Island or Gastown or perhaps the Downtown Eastside or New Westminster, each walk comes with an easy-to-follow-map and is stuffed with colourful anecdotes and unexpected historic insights. It’s an ideal and entertaining guide to the city you thought you knew...and it even includes a highly recommended bar crawl for those who like a little light refreshment while they wander.
The book is available from Amazon in Canada here and in the US here. It will also be on sale at bookstores in the city and beyond.
Note to editors: Contact me for review copies, interviews or to run a sample of one of the walks -- including maps and images -- in your publication.
Note to bookstore owners: Happy to come to your shop and plug the book and/or talk about travel writing to your customers. Just contact me here.
