Carmen E. Kuntz
FREELANCE WRITER
about
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but give me a thousand words and I'll tell the entire story. I am a freelance writer attracted to tales of adventure, nature conservation, food and self-propelled exploration.
Previously a staff writer for Rapid Magazine and editor of Kayak Session Magazine, I contribute regularly for Mountain Life Magazine - Blue Mountain & Coast Mountain, NRS Duct Tape Diaries, Rapid Magazine, and Sidetracked Magazine. I’ve written for Canoe & Kayak Magazine, Outside.com, and Teton Gravity Research. I also manage communications for two nature conservation NGO’s - one based in the Balkans and the other in the Caucasus.
I split my time between British Columbia’s coast mountains and Slovenian’s Soča River valley. I am a cinnamon bun connoisseur, whitewater kayaker, river conservationist, sushi chef and trail runner.
I am available for freelance assignments or communications contracts.
