Jennifer Bain
About
I'm an award-winning Canadian journalist and author who gravitates to cold climates and has proudly visited all 10 provinces and three territories. I married an Alberta bison rancher (who recently retired), live with my family in Toronto and have a writer's retreat on Fogo Island in Newfoundland and an obsession with the Arctic.
My newspaper career started with breaking news, crime and courts and ended with food and travel. In between, I spent two memorable years working for a magazine in Hong Kong during the heady final years of British rule. I spent 18 years running the food and travel sections at the Toronto Star, Canada’s biggest newspaper, before leaving in 2018 to earn a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction and launch a freelance travel writing career. Along the way, I have written 111 Places in Calgary That You Must Not Miss (2020), Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison (2014) and the Toronto Star Cookbook: More Than 150 Diverse & Delicious Recipes Celebrating Ontario (2013). My award-winning travel stories have appeared in the Daily Beast, Atlas Obscura, CAA magazine, Canada.com (Postmedia's flagship website), Canadian Traveller, Explore magazine, Vacay.ca, GettingOnTravel.com, Canadian Geographic Travel, the Globe & Mail and others.
