About Karina Stenquist

Karina came to Madrid from Berkeley, California to teach English for a year...that was four years ago! After finishing her degree in Political Theory (which prepared her perfectly for a career in...ummm....reading?) she had decided to improve her Spanish and see a bit of the world. Teaching English didn't pan out so she worked in a bar, then translated for sketchy businessmen, worked in a bookstore, and presented an online television news program before she decided to strike out on her own and try some freelancing (which she had the bad judgment to decide to do in the month of July, which meant she did very little writing and quite a lot of poolside lounging). She's lived all over this great city - the silver lining to the otherwise bleak storm cloud of having had 9 apartments in less than 4 years - and is now settled smack in the center. She's mainly interested in politics-specifically immigration policy and her country's recent foreign policy decisions. Other current activities and interests include: reading gut wrenchingly depressing novels, cooking for large groups of hungry people, occasionally writing on her blog, interning for CNN's Madrid bureau, learning a bit about video production, and improving her French.
