Karina currently lives in Nicaragua, where she intermingles with the local animals and wildlife, and occasionally likes to dangle her fishing rod into the Pacific waters. Before her days in the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes, she studied Latin American Literature at the University of British Columbia, as well as studying tourism and international business in Mexico. When not fishing, Karina also enjoys learning Russian, surfing, and raising her cat and two chickens.
