About Me

Welcome to my website! My name is Bianca and I’m an award-winning travel and food writer and travel guidebook author who was born and raised in Vancouver, BC Canada. I love to connect with culture through cuisine and enjoy experiencing a new destination through the eyes of the people who call the place home. From Baden-Baden, Germany, to Amarillo, Texas, I’ve enjoyed visiting lesser-known destinations and sharing unique experiences with my readers.

When I’m not counting kangaroos in South Australia, chomping on crab cakes in the Caribbean, or scaling volcanoes on the Galapagos Islands, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my three children and Dalmatian on Vancouver’s North Shore where I call home.

I’ve created this website to showcase my work, and to share, connect, and collaborate with others who may want to work with me.

 Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy!

  1. Hi Bianca, I read your recent June 22 article in the Burnaby Now on setting guidelines for your daughter’s social media account and especially for Instagram. I thought it was an important topic and I’ll plan to read your other blogs, thank you!

    Your Burnaby Now article about canceling your dream vacation over COVID fears rang so familiar for me! I too had planned a dream trip with my son to go eat fresh croissants by the rolling Seine, practice our French, open the world to him… and we too canceled (postponed!). It was a heartbreaker of a decision, but the only one we could live with. Thanks for sharing your story!

  3. Saw your article in HuffPost. I’m a Jewish guy with hair that is…unruly. I’ve always worn it short—though now that my wife “covid cuts” it, it’s longer, as she prefers. You are beautiful, and your daughter is absolutely stunning! Sorry it was a “learning experience”. Stay well.

  4. Bianca Thank you so much for that beautiful article you posted on Huffpost about Mixed-Race. I went trough all of that with my beautiful daughter. Diversity is beautiful and the World would be poorer without it.

  5. Dear Ms. Bujan,

    Loved your article in The Huffington Post about your journey of discovery and your lovely hair!
    Delightful.

    Hello,
    I just.read an article u penned about your hair. My 4yr old beautiful daughter Ella has hair very similar to yours n your daughters.
    I realize I may sound stupid asking u this, but Ella hates any sort of rubber band or product in her hair. It’s all I can do to let her let me brush it after bath time. She wants hair “like mommy” n all I want is my girl to be confident and happy. Any suggestions on how I go about this?
    If I sound ignorant or in any way offensive; I apologise.

    • Thanks for reading, and I get it, my youngest doesn’t like having things in her hair either. I would suggest just wetting her hair in the bath, drenching it in conditioner, letting it sit in her hair while she plays, and then comb it all out before you rinse it. Then during the day if she wears it down and it gets tangly, it should be easier to manage. Hope that helps!

    I enjoyed your HuffPost article. The thing that struck me about it was what you said about your ancestry Nigerian/macedonian. I was wondering what information you had about this ancestry. I was really curious how ancient this combination is. I am very interested in genealogy and it seems like a combination of the two could be from a very ancient lineage.

  8. Hello Bianca: I read your HuffPost piece some weeks ago and your story gave me the confidence that the character in my current novel in progress is on the right track. Alice is Melanesian–??. I drew her character from within my own family of Mexican-New Zealand grandchildren and a great grandson and now Japanese-Ukrainian-Canadian great grandchildren. I drew Alice from my own memory of my mother, an adoptee, who did not know her birth parentage and always suspected some Spanish link. A big thank you.

    Hi Bianca: I read your article on the ban of Mother’s Day in schools. I’m wondering what responses you gained from this? Was there any appetite for school boards to reconsider some of your recommendations? Thank you so much for penning a thoughtful engagement on the topic.
