By day Flash Parker is a wilderness survival expert in the same tradition as Paul Bunyan and Shaft. He has been known to wrestle grizzly bears to a draw, crack turtle shells with his bare hands and crawl inside a living moose for warmth.

By night Flash is a screenwriter, author and photographer from Ontario, Canada. Flash has spent the last few years traveling far and wide in search of inspiration, with his photographic adventures taking him across Canada and the USA, Europe, Asia, Oceania and South America. His work has been published by Lonely Planet, Conde Nast, Asian Geographic, Escape Magazine, Groove Magazine, Reader’s Digest, American Cowboy and more. Some of his more interesting stories have been translated into different languages, none of which he can actually read. Additionally, Flash was nominated for a PATA Gold Award in destination journalism, though he lost in record fashion.

Flash is interested in responsible travel, global sustainability, the economics of life on the road and good beer. He speaks a little bit of Korean, a little less French, and a heck of a lot more English than he lets on.

Flash has a flickr stream he loves, a Twitter page somewhere out there, a Facebook page he updates once in a while, and a LinkedIn profile for anyone over the age of 50.

Along with Dylan Goldby, Flash operates Flash Light Photography Expeditions.

Flash Light Photography Expeditions is dedicated to providing in-depth photographic adventures to keen photography enthusiasts from around the globe. We provide tours to destinations in South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Canada, The United States and the world over. We are the premiere choice of photography enthusiasts looking to take their image-making and photojournalism skills to the next level. We are proponents of responsible travel, eco-tourism and global ethics. www.flashlightexpeditions.com

I live in Canada, but I spent a lot of time on the road. Find me out there, and I'll buy you a beer.
