About Carla King

Carla King is a San Francisco-based travel and technology writer and author of The American Borders Dispatches created in 1995, one of the first travelogues on the Internet. Continuing her realtime adventure series, she sent missives to the web during her 1998 journey from Beijing to the Tibetan border and back in The China Road Dispatches. She's been featured in a number of TV and radio shows, print and online magazines, and often speaks on travel and technology. Go to the Logbook for a complete list of events and media, and a personal diary of activities.

Previous works include a guidebook to mountain biking the Alpes-Maritimes (Cycling the French Riviera), stories about a bicycle ride from Dakar, Senegal to Abdijan, Ivory Coast (a good story about this trip appears in Travelers' Tales: Food), and bicycle and motorcycle trips through Europe and Jamaica. She has also penned stories for many travel magazines and newspaper travel sections.

When she's not writing about being on the road, Carla writes about technology for magazines like PC World, bizTraveler, and Women's Wire. Her work with Verbum, Inc., keeps her up to date on the latest in multimedia, and she continues to freelance as a technical writer for electronics firms in Silicon Valley.
