Humorous, honest, and with a dash of edge, Robin's chapter-length Modern Gonzo reports from around the world pay tribute to the late Hunter S Thompson's "anything goes" quest for adventure. Robin also cites fiction writers like Tom Robbins, Salman Rushdie, Douglas Coupland and John Irving, and non-fiction writers like Thompson, Graham Hancock, and Bill Bryson as his writing influences. Years of writing in his signature little black notebooks have created an exciting new voice, one that is clear, funny, and resonant with a global reading audience.

Published in over a dozen major international newspapers and magazines, Robin's journalism comes in various flavours. His weekly column in The Globe & Mail takes readers to off-the-beaten path destinations. For Outpost Magazine, his Thrillseeker column takes readers on daring activities, written largely from the perspective of a self professed "knee-shaking desk jockey." His Sympatico columns tackle the good, the bad and the ugly of modern travel, from controversial topics like poverty tourism to lighter fare like where to find the world's most beautiful women.

The success of his first person reports, articles and columns lies in his accessibility - the fact that both men and women of all ages can relate to Robin's humour, and enjoy his tireless inspiration.
