He went to South America as a volunteer with Canada World Youth, and later spent five years in Japan. He has travelled across northern China, Korea, Indonesia, and mainland Malaysia — but through it all has remained stubbornly Canadian.
Will has a degree in Fine Arts (Film & Television) from York University in Toronto, and has worked in marketing/publicity, and even — briefly — as a journalist. His debut book, a humorous look at Canadian culture entitled, Why I Hate Canadians, was a surprise bestseller that allowed him to change careers suddenly in mid-stream. Ever since then, he has been a full-time writer, specializing in travel and Canadiana.
Will is also the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to Japan, a travel guide; I Was a Teenage Katima-victim!, a hilarious memoir of his days as a cross-Canada youth volunteer; Hokkaido Highway Blues, a travel narrative; and Bastards & Boneheads: Canada's Glorious Leaders Past and Present, a frank and funny look at Canada's prime ministers and the history of Canada. He is also the co-author of The Girlfriend's Guide to Hockey, a lighthearted and informative guide to Canada's favourite sport.
Although he considers himself an "honorary Maritimer" (his family's roots are in Cape Breton and he lived for several years in the Fundy region of New Brunswick), Will recently returned to his home province of Alberta. He now lives in Calgary with his wife, Terumi, and their three-year-old son, Alex.
