During that time, Ed investigated everything from theft and burglary to arson and murder. He retired with a total of thirty-one years and four months of service. Within weeks of retirement, Ed took to travelling the world, visiting countries in Southeast Asia and South America as well as riding his motorcycle all over Canada and the United States. He kept in touch with family and friends through email, sending them snippets and stories of his adventures. The recipients of his musings suggested he write a book about his travels and Ed put together a collection of short stories in his first book, A Casual Traveler.
