Mr. Kevin Moore

Born in the 1980s in Chatham, Ontario, Canada, I developed an early fascination with travel, storytelling, and the natural world. Equipped with a camera, notebook, and an adventurous spirit, I spent over fifteen years journeying across continents—capturing striking landscapes and drawing inspiration from the people and cultures I encountered along the way.

My debut memoir, Dude, Where’s My Walking Stick, chronicles my 1,300-kilometre trek across New Zealand and reflects the transformative power of perseverance and discovery. The book received the Global Book Award for Best Amateur Writer, reached the top of Amazon’s Adventure Memoir and Walking categories, and ranked among the platform’s top 1,000 titles. Its success led to features on CBC News, Windsor Life Magazine, and CKLW Radio, where I shared insights about both the journey and the creative process behind the work.

A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, I continue to explore some of the world’s most remote and challenging landscapes. My recent ten-day solo hike through Kluane National Park in Northern Canada reaffirmed my passion for solitude and the natural world. In addition to writing, I am an avid nature photographer whose work has been exhibited internationally and was nominated for the Yukon Visual Arts Award in 2024.

I currently reside in Manzanillo, Mexico, with my partner and our cat, where I am embracing a new climate and culture while developing future writing projects. Whether through photography or prose, my goal remains the same—to tell meaningful stories that connect people to the beauty, unpredictability, and wonder of the world around us.
