About Karen
Born in Canada but based in Dublin for nearly a decade, working for Lonely Planet for half of that time, I'm a travel junkie and writer with a love for snapping pics, puns and the occasional jazz hand. I'm always on the hunt for an interesting story, a good meal and a laugh. My favorite places to travel include Spain and Vietnam, where I've been lucky enough to live, work and get to know the people and culture (and the food, don't forget the food).
