“An everyday tourist is a wanderer... someone with curiosity, who seeks new experiences, fosters a sense of adventure and has an eye for the road less travelled. He/she takes the time to look, listen and reflect on everyday experiences - wherever and whenever.
We are freelance writers who love to research and write about all things urban, - locally and globally. ”
What we do.....
We have branded ourselves as "everyday tourists" as that is our approach to life. We are both freelance writers focused on all aspects of urban living, design, development and travel. Topics include: Downtowns as Urban Playgrounds, Sleeping Around In San Francisco, Thrifting in Vegas, Window Licking in Paris, Youth Campus for Stampede Park, Our Adolescent Downtown and Curse of Minimalism.

Richard’s knowledge and broad experience in urban development, planning, media and public relations allows him to consult with individuals, small businesses and not-for-profit organizations to develop strategic plans, community assessments and SWOT reviews.
