Bonnie Baker Cowan - Jodaco

I am a seasoned Canadian journalist with more than 30 years experience as a writer and editor of major Canadian magazines.

My main passion is travelling and over the past few years, I have walked the hills of every country in Europe, eaten shark fin soup in Hong Kong, driven the vineyards and oceanside highways of New Zealand, met panthers and lions in Africa, ridden elephants in Thailand and climbed Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka.

I am a curious, engaged traveler and an avid photographer, recording my experiences for the enjoyment of others in the pages of magazines and websites.

My other writing passion is about people and relationships and am always interviewing friends and new acquaintances with a curiosity that translates into stories.

When I am not writing, I am in my garden, cultivating my flowers or in my kitchen trying new recipes that I love to cook and share with my family. I love to cook and add my own special touches to dishes. I have contributed several recipes to cookbooks by Canadian Living magazine.
