About Meredith

I’m a writer and visual artist living in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. My website, curious meredith, is my portfolio of travel writing, as well as my creative projects, from illustration, pottery, and podcasting.

As of 2026, I’m returning to travel writing, focusing on discovering living history and the impact of place on arts, culture, and culinary traditions and innovations.

Creative Projects

You can find my tarot deck, Playful Beings, at my Etsy Shop as well as the fantastic boutique, Stonewaters, in Canmore, AB.

Currently, I’m a Board Member of artsPlace in Canmore, Alberta. It is a fantastic local arts centre that creates opportunities for the community to learn, try, and propel their creativity in a variety of disciplines.

In the past, I’ve been published as a freelance writer for online publications such as Go Girl Guides. I’ve also spoken to university students about the importance of diversifying our perspectives.

A WHILE AGO: My long-term travels started in 2009 when I went on exchange to Finland, which created a travel monster with an insatiable desire to experience more. In Finland, I visited a Sami reindeer farm in Lapland, dogsled and ran in the forests, and then backpacked around western Europe. In 2011, I moved to Nairobi, Kenya for a communications internship at a hospital. I took advantage of my good fortunes and went on safari in the Maasai Mara as well as explored beach paradise on a motorcycle. In 2012, I moved to Belgium where I learned to finally cook a decent meal, soaked in European culture, and discovered the finer aspects of beer and wine.

In 2013, my Belgian partner came to live with me in Alberta. His influence had me experiencing my home in a way I’d never experienced it before. Eventually, we married. We’ve lived in rural central Alberta, Edmonton, and Canmore; all the while establishing our careers and becoming full-fledged adults. Together, we’ve explored Japan, Mexico, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Iceland, the United States, and numerous hidden gems in Canada.
