About Me

She has written for The Atlantic, Scientific American, National Geographic, Genome Magazine and more.

Knvul is currently based in New York City. But she has lived in the foothills of the Himalayas in Pakistan, swum in the tropical waters of Singapore, and backpacked across the South Island of New Zealand.

When not planning her next big trip, Knvul enjoys running and experimenting with green smoothies.​
