This is me, Gerry Feehan QC, trying not to topple off Fisher Peak, one of the highest spots in the Canadian Rockies. I used to be a lawyer, but ventured off course to become an award-winning travel-writer and photographer. I've spent the last decade standing atop precarious peaks, exploring strange places, meeting interesting people — and penning humorous, sometimes true stories. My work has been published in newspapers, magazines and on-line travel sites throughout Canada. ⁠
⁠
Now I’m excited to announce the launch of my new website, gerryfeehan.ca, a.k.a. ‘Adventures of a Recovering Lawyer’ [link in bio]. ⁠

If you're seeking entertaining travel stories from around the world, compelling photographs — and a few laughs — Adventures of a Recovering Lawyer is just the place. Thanks—and here’s to that travel itch we’re all dying to scratch again.⁠
