Dave Cameron

Dave Cameron is often able to sleep soundly on interstate buses and in airport departure lounges. This wasn't always the case. At the age of 18, he sat up for 70 hours on the train from Toronto to Vancouver. He arrived smelly and exhausted, but alo having discovered that movement alone is a fix -- even if temporary -- for restlessness. Dave grew up in Maple, Ontario, and studied magazine journalism at Ryerson University. A freelance writer, his work has appeared in the Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The Ottawa Citizen, and Cottage Life magazine, among other publications. He also worked for a time as a weekly newspaper reporter in Kincardine, Ontario. But the stories he likes best are those found by accident. Dave has lived in Vancouver, Toronto, and Halifax, and has travelled in Europe, Asia, and Australia.
