Carolyn McCarthy divined a future passion for exploration with
her first word: door. Yearly childhood pilgrimages to her mother's
native Quebec whetted an appetite for travel. After growing up
restless in Massachusetts she made a break for Colorado, where she
studied comparative literature and powder skiing while pursuing a
BA from Colorado College. She later earned an MFA in creative
writing from Emerson College and an ice-climbing certificate from a
now-defunct Andean institute. 
Carolyn has been writing about the Americas since 1998, when she
bumped across Mexico and South America solo by bus. Her writing is
informed by a concern for the natural environment and the everyday
experience of those off the grid and outside of modern norms.
Between wanderings she has taught English to executives in Buenos
Aires, worked with immigrant families in the western U.S. and
guided trekking trips in Patagonia. 
On a good day, working for Lonely Planet means flying over the
Beagle Channel or cruising the Amazon basin by canoe. A bad day
means fleeing a bus fire, sampling the dodgy fare that won't get
recommended or self-diagnosing intestinal bugs. Such misadventures
make an occasional success all the sweeter. Her advice for those
hitting the road: don't rush. Wandering can yield greater pleasures
than racing to that so-called destination. And forget day packs.
When tooling around pickpocket hot spots, it's best to tote your
necessities in a plastic grocery bag. 
Carolyn has coauthored Lonely Planet's Ecuador & the Galapagos
and South America on a Shoestring, and contributed to Bluelist, The
Middle of Nowhere and Travels with Lonely Planet columns. A
contributing editor to South American Explorer, Carolyn has written
for the Boston Globe and Spanish language titles. A former
Fulbright recipient, she is currently working under a grant from
Banff Mountain Center to write about northern Patagonia's fading
pioneer culture. She lives in southern Chile.
