Karen Edwards

Hello, I’m Karen. I’m a freelance journalist, specialising in travel, wellbeing and lifestyle, for UK and international publications.

Through my interviews, articles and photography, I try to share the more positive side to life, whether that might be through music, reading, travelling or staying mentally healthy - and showcase the bits you don't usually hear about unless you dig a little deeper.

All my work comes from first-hand experiences. When it comes to travel, I focus on the ethical and sustainable side of seeing the world, writing about wildlife and the best way to see animals without putting yourself (and them) in danger; about historically war-torn regions that are recovering thanks to tourism - and unique and colourful cultures that remain traditional despite the fast-paced growth of technology. There are some incredible places out there.

Finally, I hope to inspire through my writing and interviews. Whether that's finding solace in the lyrics of a song, finding the will to follow dreams, broadening thoughts and goals - or simply taking better care of ourselves.
