We all need a little more sanuk in our lives
Karen Sinotok is a successful writer and editor, currently Features Director at Prima magazine, the best-selling UK women's glossy.
As a magazine journalist in the 1990s, she became tired of the daily grind, handed in her notice, and booked a trip to Thailand that would change her life. There, she met Sit, a fun-loving Thai and lived with him in a shifting community of travellers and Thais on a beautiful but remote island beach. Every day was sanuk.
Following the birth of their son, Siam, Karen and her family split their time between Thailand and London, and currently live by a rather stonier beach in Hove, East Sussex.
