Welcome to the homepage of Thomas Froese, a Canadian journalist and storyteller. Writing widely from his experiences in the Middle East and Africa, Froese offers an enlightening perspective on news, travel and life.

Unlike most Western journalists, he’s lived for years in the Third World nations of Yemen and Uganda. His work touches a range of themes from politics to development to spirituality. Often reaching into the soul of cultures, his columns are known to be thoughtful, if not provocative with a dollop of wry humour.

Froese left Canada to write from the ancient Yemeni capital of Sana’a, shortly after 9/11. Eight years and two children later, his family is based in Uganda’s capital district of Kampala.

While he contributes to newspapers in Canada and Uganda, he also partners in the work of his wife, Dr. Jean Chamberlain Froese, who is the founding executive director of Save the Mothers International.

Froese's writing life began when he as a reporter in St. Thomas, Canada, in 1989. He has since photographed and written commentaries from five continents and been awarded numerous journalism honours.

Now published in 2009 is an outstanding collection of 99 of his international columns, plus dozens of captivating photographs in the book Ninety-Nine Windows: Reflections of a Reporter From Arabia to Africa and other Roads Less Travelled. To see excerpts, click here.
