Hello, I'm W. Andrew Powell and this is my story...

For more than 25 years I’ve been writing about entertainment, travel, food, and Scotch. Back in 2001, I started The GATE, an online entertainment magazine that keeps me busy, especially interviewing hundreds of creators, filmmakers, actors, and amazing, talented people.

For the last few years travel has become a big part of my work, and I’m thrilled to focus on creating interesting, informative videos and articles for travellers.
