Alison Karlene Hodgins

Alison Karlene Hodgins is a freelance journalist and full-time editor. She has been published by The Globe and Mail, HuffPost, World Nomads, Cottage Life, Canadian Traveller, BC Business, Explore and British Columbia Magazine. When she's not working on the manuscript for her debut travel memoir, you can find her on the top of a mountain, reading yellow-paged novels on the beach or sipping a coffee in a quirky café. She's passionate about ethical tourism, outdoor adventure and learning to appreciate your own backyard. But she's still a sucker for international travel—she's already explored over 35 different countries and plans to see as much of the world as possible.
