Failed middle school Pumpkin Queen, second-generation Deadhead, mediocre yogi, cupcake connoisseur, board game enthusiast, and lover of puns and dystopian novels, Carrie Bell started her career writing about pop culture and celebrities for the likes of People, Entertainment Weekly, and Billboard. A decade in, Bell branched out to cover travel, weddings, wellness, food and drink, and lifestyle. Her work has appeared in Fodor’s, TripSavvy, Reader’s Digest, Oprah Daily, Brides, Architectural Digest, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, and Hotels Above Par.
She’s been to 45 countries and only has six states left in her 50 x 50 challenge. (Follow her adventures and musings on Instagram.) She lives in Los Angeles with two cats, an engineer, a snow globe collection, a fridge that is always stocked with dairy products, and plenty of residual childhood trauma.
