Oh Canada

Summer's here in Vancouver and this year I've been lucky enough to travel around South America and explore more of Canada - here are my features on Toronto and the Yukon. My features on Borneo and BC have appeared in Journeys magazine and I'm editor of Vancouver Daily Secret. 

I've also started writing for BCBusiness.ca and some of my stories can be found here.

From the Philippines to Vancouver

It's been a busy couple of months here in Vancouver and since I last posted I've had features on the Philippines, Vietnam, Antwerp, Panama Canal cruises and Alaska cruises published in the Mail on Sunday.

I've also had features on my new home town of Vancouver published in the Mail on Sunday and Mollie Makes.

European cruises

Thinking about a cruise in Europe? Check out my feature on NCL Epic and Cruise & Maritime Voyages, which were both published in the Mail on Sunday recently. Also keep an eye out for my Philippines feature, which should be going in this Sunday!

Canada

I've been in Vancouver a month now and as well as sorting out somewhere to live and all the practicalities of moving abroad I've also been lucky enough to travel to Whistler, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories on work assignments.

My website at http://www.amywatkins.com and my new blog at http://eatsshootsandleaves.com are being updated and will be fully live by July.

While I've been away my features on Disney Fantasy and my Caribbean P&O cruise - including my video report - have been published in the Mail on Sunday.

Epic adventures

Time flies... I'm moving to Canada in less then two weeks and have just got back from a four-night Med cruise on Norwegian Epic. This week I'm off to Antwerp on a mini-cruise with Cruise & Maritime Voyages. Just had to squeeze in one last cruise before I head off to Vancouver!

Caribbean catch-up

I'm just back from four fun-packed days in the Caribbean on P&O's Azura cruise ship. We had a lovely film crew with us, who have put together a video of my trip and I'll post a link here as soon as it's live. It'll feature me snorkelling with turtles in Barbados, zip-lining in St Lucia and kayaking in Antigua!

I was really pleased to be shortlisted in the recent inaugural PSA cruise journalism awards and congratulations to all the winners.

At the moment I am getting ready for my big move to Canada, but I'll be going on a Med cruise and mini-break to Antwerp before I head off for a year.

I have my flight to Vancouver booked for May 11th and in June I'll be travelling up to the Yukon and Northwest Territories. I'll be relaunching my website before I go and also announcing a new blog.

New York, New York

I've just got back from a trip to New York to get a sneak peek at the Disney Fantasy cruise ship. Next week I'm off to the Caribbean with P&O and in the meantime I've been working on some features for Telegraph Create, Selling Long Haul, Room for Romance and Co-op's Traveller.

Recently my piece about an Arctic cruise in Canada was published in the Mail on Sunday, I'll add a link when it goes online.
