Allan Lynch

Allan Lynch has been an advertising representative, a reporter, an editor and a publisher. He’s authored four books. His latest is The Nova Scotia Book of Musts, The 101 Places Every Nova Scotian MUST See (MacIntyre Purcell Publishing). He primarily writes travel articles for magazines from Singapore to Sweden from his base near the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada. In pursuit of story ideas, Allan has traveled on the old Orient Express (before it became a luxury train); bobbed around icebergs off Newfoundland in a very, very small open boat; hung upside down from treetops in an Alberta dude ranch (okay, that was a mistake); and nearly killed himself snowbiking down an 8,500-foot-high mountain in the Canadian Rockies (expletive deleted). He’s twice cycled the length of Prince Edward Island, been thrown by a horse named Parker in Bermuda, found a rhinoceros outside his door in South Africa, and drank with a man dressed as a cow at St. John’s George Street Festival. All of which gets turned into copy for his readers.
