Karen Listgarten
Travel Advisor, Viaku
I started VIAKU in 2017 following a 20+ year long career in international marketing and retail operations with the Estee Lauder Companies. I received my MBA in International Management and Strategic Studies from the Wharton School of Business and my BA and MA in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania.
At VIAKU our mission is to design unique travel experiences highlighting the local and authentic flavor of each country as a local might experience it. I'm a firm believer in the “See less, experience more” school of travel. I believe that the quality of the experiences you have while traveling is more important than the quantity of experiences.
I have personally visited more than 60 countries from Chile to Bhutan to Tanzania. Recent travel destinations include Peru, Portugal, Scotland, France and Costa Rica. In addition to travel I love playing pickleball, cooking, hiking, photography and long walks with my 2 Brittanys.
