About

Ken MacIntyre is a contributing writer at Atomic-Ranch.com as well as the author of Coco Cabana: Designed for Gracious Living and the acclaimed travel book Reel Vancouver: An Insider’s Guide to Hollywood North, which,  in 2012,  was  recommended by Lonely Planet as the “definitive guide to screen culture in the city.”

With Modtraveler.net, Ken combines his love of mid-century modern architecture and 1950s-60s popular culture with travel, and shares over 30 years of experience about his favorite destinations including Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Hawaii and his home town, Vancouver.
