As a magazine and website editor, Karen has been lucky enough to travel the world but is happiest on the water. She loves the Mediterranean and the Middle East and married an Italian in Rome and lived in Dubai for five years. Italy is her favourite country, but says stand out work trips involved doing karaoke and meeting a geisha in Japan and cuddling a koala and collecting pearls in Australia. Karen is passionate about cruising and even has her own cruise blog Cruise Blondes that she created with a former colleague and friend Rebecca Barnes. Her next cruise is to Croatia followed by a voyage to the Norwegian fjords.
