This has been a great year at TIFF. The festival has been better than it was even in 2019, and between Saturday and Sunday I screened more of my top picks from the festival, I had a great interview, and I had the chance to see legends of film in person.

What a difference two decades makes. For more than 20 years now, The GATE has been covering Canadian entertainment, lifestyle, tech, and travel. Now I’m ready to open a new chapter in our story.
The last few months have been challenging, especially when you’re talking about travel. I have big plans for 2022 though, and I think I have a few great ideas to make sure I’ll be going somewhere, even if all my travel ideas don’t work out.
