Kara Williams

In my 30-year editorial career, I’ve worked as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, proofreader, and corporate copy editor. As a freelance writer and editor, I’ve long focused on my true love — covering all things travel.

I’ve done just that — writing about family trips, girlfriend getaways, romantic escapes, outdoor adventures, and upscale resorts — for clients such as Expedia, Family Vacation Critic, and The Denver Post, among many (many!) other publications and companies.

A few more tidbits about me:

• One summer I sailed around Europe for 66 days as the Communications Coordinator for Semester at Sea.
• The Vacation Gals, a blog I co-founded (and subsequently sold 9 years later), won Gold for Best Travel Blog in the Lowell Thomas Award Competition, the “Oscars” of travel journalism.
• I’ve scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef, heli-hiked in the Canadian Rockies, and jumped out of an airplane in Florida, but I count a recent 7-week road trip in BB the RV among my favorite travel adventures. Ever.
• I majored in English at Dartmouth College, and spent a term in Mainz, Germany — a springboard for my love of travel.
• I live in the Colorado Rockies with my husband. Our kids are in college, so we’re happy empty nesters!
