Doug O'Neill Rambling. Hiking. Trekking. Crag-hopping. However you describe the act of strapping on boots and heading into the outdoorsy, Doug O’Neill is up for it. (Especially if it involves a good post-hike pint.) A longtime print and digital writer/editor, Doug tries to incorporate some element of nature or the outdoors into any voyage. He just co-authored his first nature guidebook: 110 Nature Hotspots in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. When not scribbling travel stories, Doug volunteers for various conservation and nature groups.
