About Journey Junket
Journey Junket is a publication about the small, vanishing details of recent decades — the dinner-party menus, the rec-room rituals, the dashboards, the dress codes, and the things that quietly disappeared while no one was looking.
Our beat is everyday history. Not the headlines, but the stuff in between — across family, food, home, travel, work, technology, fashion, and the vehicles in the driveway.
— From the Publisher —
Jon Dykstra
Founder & Publisher
Jon founded Journey Junket to document the small, vanishing details of recent decades — the rec-room rituals, the dinner-party menus, the things that seemed too ordinary to write down until they were gone.
A publisher on the open web since the early 2010s, he writes most days from his desk in North Vancouver and spends the rest of his time on the slopes, the trails, and the coastal waters of Metro Vancouver. He’s lived in the United States extensively and remains a regular traveler — usually with a notebook in his pocket and a question about what used to be on this corner.

The Writers
A small bench of curious people who write the pages.
Writer
Cairo Ferguson
Cairo grew up bouncing between cities across Canada and the United States, and the wandering shaped a careful eye for how places remember themselves — the diners that hang on, the strip malls that don’t, the small towns the freeway forgot. Hailing from Vancouver, she writes on West Coast culture, regional history, and the kind of detail you only catch if you’re walking, not driving.
Writer
Graham Stuart
Graham is a writer, poet, and former bartender based in Montreal. After years behind the stick in fine dining rooms and cocktail bars, he turned his attention to the myths and histories tangled up in our food and drink — the speakeasies, the supper clubs, the recipes our grandparents kept on index cards. In his off hours, he’s usually camping or restoring an old bike.
Writer
Savannah Lentz
Savannah writes from the road — usually from the front seat of a Jeep, with truck-stop coffee in the cup holder and Townes Van Zandt on the speakers. She’s drawn to the small wonders that get overlooked at highway speed: alpaca-stocked gas stations, motel ice machines, diners with a pie case still in service. She covers Americana, road-trip culture, and the slow art of paying attention.
