Will Ferguson’s thirteen non-fiction books span nearly two decades of humor and travel writing. His earliest works focus on Japan, where he spent years teaching English. Hokkaido Highway Blues (published as Hitching Rides with Buddha outside North America) chronicles his journey hitchhiking the length of Japan during cherry blossom season.
His Canadian books include several humor titles about national identity, a Canadian history guide, and regional travelogues. Beyond Belfast (2009) records a walk across Northern Ireland, while Road Trip Rwanda (2015) documents a journey through a country rebuilding after genocide. Ferguson’s travel writing consistently balances humor with genuine curiosity about the places and people he encounters.
