Jennifer Melo Born with a surname that describes her well, Jennifer Melo (like mellow) is a proud Canadian and the senior web editor. She enjoys exploring Internet and technology trends and is a shameless reality TV fan -- she'd totally sign up for the Amazing Race if challenges didn't include bungee jumping and eating gross stuff. Jen believes in the magic of naps, beach vacations and good friends. |

Doug O'Neill On his first trip to Florence, Italy, travel-obsessed Executive Editor Doug O'Neill almost got run over by a mad nun on a scooter while crossing Via del Purgatorio. Years later, a deranged billy goat chased him along a dirt road on Hornby Island, British Columbia. These incidents did not discourage Doug from travelling, but he did learn a valuable lesson: Always take the road less travelled. |

Daniela Payne Daniela Payne is the health, crafts and green living editor. Daniela has come up with every excuse in the book to avoid lacing up her runners for a daily jog, but can't deny the fabulous "runner's high" after a challenging workout, which is why she calls herself a running enthusiast. She also loves eating. And cooking. Oh, and drinking beer. In her (barely there) free time she can be found at home with her dog and boyfriend, catching up on her ever-growing pile of magazines, books and newspapers. |

Wendy Graves Wendy Graves is the senior life editor at Canadian Living. She has a weakness for cheesy '80s music, Three’s Company reruns, mashed potatoes and chocolate milk. She has a passion for travel, baking and especially sports. An avid ball hockey player, she possesses a deceptively wicked wrist shot. |
