About Ditch the Guide
Ditch the Guide is a set of short guides to Ontario towns the guidebooks skip, for people who are already driving past on the highway.
Who runs it
I'm Christopher "Ditch" Ross. I run Ditch the Guide alongside my other work at thisismyurl.com. Ditch is the pen name I write these under, so when a guide says "I", that's me describing a place I've actually visited. Everything else I research from public sources and write in a plain guide voice. I live in Fort Erie, Ontario, and I've been building on the web since 1996, so I know how to check a fact before it goes on a page.
Invite me to your town
I love to travel, and I'm keen to help discover the undiscovered gems in Ontario towns. If you work in business development or tourism for a town you think I should visit, put together the details you'd want a visitor to know, such as what is worth seeing, when it is at its best and who to talk to, and reach out to me. My reviews and details are my own opinions, and funding or an invitation never influences them. Email me at [email protected].
