　　KARLA ZIMMERMAN Years ago, during Karla's first visit to Vancouver, she met
a gentleman wear-ing a visor, a money belt
and nothingelse. Yes, Karla had wandered on to the nudist Wreck Beach
during a hike, and it is this incident she was referring to when she convinced Lonely Planet's editors that she knew Vancouver intimately. Subsequent visits cemented her admiration for the freewheeling City of Glass, and its unbeatable french fries, bi-cycle paths and lamb popsicles.
When she's not chained to her desk,Karla is a rabid traveler who might be found anywhere in the world from the misty heights of Machu Picchu to the dripping jungles ofAngkor Wat, or from the cumin-colored dunes of the Sahara to that tasty doughnut shop down the road. She has written travel features for books, news-papers, magazines and radio. She lives in Chicago with her husband Eric, the ulti-mate trekking companion, who never says no and because of it has endured every thing from bus crashes in the Vietnamese highlands to Civil War re-enactments in northern Illinois.
