Karen Schaler is a three-time Emmy award-winning multi-media journalist and author with more than fifteen years of professional writing and reporting experience. She currently specializes in covering travel and lifestyle news.

With majors in Communications and Sociology, Schaler has traveled to more than 30 countries and has written more than five hundred nationally published travel articles, including seven national magazine cover stories. Schaler’s travel writing and photography is also featured on ABCNEWS.com’s travel page where there are 20 million unique users and her stories include a link back to her TRAVEL THERAPY site. Her publishing credits include The New Yorker, The Boston Globe, Town & Country, Elite Traveler, Islands, and ABCnews.com.

Schaler credits her hip, edgy writing style and her wanderlust spirit to her background as a television broadcast journalist. She has worked as an on-air television correspondent for CNN, and has worked as a reporter/anchor at ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affiliates in major markets across the country.

Growing up outside of Seattle, Washington, Schaler has lived in ten different states and currently is based in New York City. Constantly globetrotting around the world, she says her home now, “is wherever I put my suitcase.”
