Travel Writing & Freelance

Writing


Dr. Nadine Robinson | Award-Winning Travel Writer & Journalist

Muck Rack recently reported that “more than 89% of the links cited from AI come from earned media.” Don’t get left out of the conversation as more people turn to artificial intelligence bots to plan and book travel.

Reliability meets adventure. With 20 years of experience and a track record of never missing a deadline, I provide editors with clean, engaging copy that resonates with audiences across Canada and beyond.

As a long-standing columnist for Postmedia (The Sault Star), my work is frequently syndicated across Northern Ontario and nationally. My 2025–2026 portfolio includes extensive contributions to re: Porter, explore, Paddling Mag, TravelLife, the Northern Ontario Travel Portal, and CAA/AMA Magazine. In 2026, I am proud to add Canadian Geographic and Cottage Life to my list of published credits.

The Adventurer’s Lens

I don’t just write about travel; I live it. Having explored 73 countries, I seek out the “adventure in the everyday” and the skills that define a culture. My reporting is fueled by hands-on experience, including:

  • Adrenaline: Tandem BASE jumping in Utah and surfing in Costa Rica.
  • Exploration: Trekking the Himalayas and scuba diving with hammerheads in the Galapagos.
  • Skills: Licensed motorcycle rider and certified massage practitioner (Thailand).

Impact & Reach

I have a weekly column with Postmedia. A recent Cision report showed my Jamaica adventure feature reached 1.7 million readers across Canada. My regional features consistently see national pickup, appearing in markets from Kingston and Woodstock to Fort McMurray and Airdrie.

Beyond print, I am a Level 8 Google Guide with over 20 million views on my reviews and photos, and my travel reels on Instagram regularly engage thousands of viewers.
