Karen Lac
I am a San Francisco Bay Area native who previously worked in the travel and hospitality industry. When I wasn’t assisting clients with their travel plans, I obsessively followed (and still do) travel deals, trends and news online.
I am now a freelance writer full-time, contributing regularly to sites such as Daily Glow, eHow, ScreenJunkies, MadeMan, LiveStrong, Gather and Examiner.com. I am also a freelance writer for SR Education Group and create content for other private businesses looking to expand their websites. My articles have appeared in print in “The Occidental Weekly.” I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a Bachelor of Arts in Politics, both from Occidental College. My writing reflects my broad interests. I write travel, entertainment, political commentary, health, nutrition, food, education, career, and legal articles.
I try to squeeze in as much travel as my limited budget and vacation time allows. Weekends are spent on road trips and exploring the local area. Eating out, cooking, home entertaining and following pop culture keeps me entertained and in the loop when I'm at home.
Follow my adventures by reading my personal blog, my Twitter feed and my budget travel column.
