Travel writer and photographer

Kari has earned six prestigious Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism awards, written books on Rwanda and Kurdistan, and contributed to national publications from The Boston Globe to Islands, Outside, Backpacker, and The Miami Herald.

She's also contributed stories and essays to many travel anthologies, including The Best Women's Travel Writing, LIFE: The Greatest Adventures of All Time, and The Unsavvy Traveler: Women's Comic Tales of Catastrophe.


Adventurer

Kari has hitchhiked through bandit country in Laos, trekked across the Himalayas, paddled around icebergs and whales off the coast of Newfoundland, and traveled through Rwanda after the civil war to deliver medicines to refugees.


She's traveled around the world solo, for 18 months. Each summer, she takes her teenage kids on a "fun" 8- to 10-day backpacking trip in the Pacific Northwest.
