- Byron is a Toronto-based essayist, writer, and award-winning freelance journalist investigating the intersections between lifestyle and travel. He's written about unique hotels for Forbes and Foodism, Michelin-starred restaurants in Toronto for TasteToronto, and Caribbean art fairs for Whitehot Magazine. Preferring to be a traveller instead of a tourist, Byron seeks out local hot spots and lesser known local haunts, that leaves readers with a sense of "being there" and confidence in their personal trip planning.
