Hello there
I'm Karen Kelly
I am a nationally syndicated freelance food and travel writer and founder of Seasonal Cravings and co-founder of The Roam Report, covering destinations, hotels, and food.

My travel reporting is syndicated through the BLOX Digital Content Exchange, formerly TownNews, a distribution network that powers more than 2,000 news sites nationwide and generates 6.8 billion annual page views.
As co-founder and editor of The Roam Report, I leverage this national syndication model to secure broad exposure for destinations in both regional and major media outlets. A single article can be published by more than 100 U.S. news organizations, often delivering over 5 million UTM in combined readership.
This distribution structure enables tourism boards and brands to achieve widespread national visibility through a single strategic placement, maximizing reach while remaining cost-effective.
Please review all my work on my Muck Rack Profile.
