Pitelen, Tamara

Originally from New Zealand, Tamara Pitelen currently lives in Dubai where her grasp of Arabic is limited but she has picked up the local habit of shisha smoking. Her day job involves editing magazines. She is also one of the founding editors of women's travel website, www.holidaygoddess.com. When not writing about travel, Tamara likes yoga, singing in the car, reality TV shows about Amish people, and overly frequent coffee breaks. She believes in ghosts. In her next life, she will be a Las Vegas cabaret entertainer.
