Contributor

Vawn Himmelsbach is a veteran journalist who has been covering tech, business, finance and travel for the past three decades. Her work has been featured in publications such as The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, National Post, Metro News, Canadian Geographic, Zoomer, CAA Magazine, Travelweek, Explore Magazine, Flare and Consumer Reports, to name a few.

She’s also written content for Big Four consulting firms, tech companies, financial institutions, insurance companies and market intelligence research firms in North America and Europe, and was the editor of an award-winning technology website. Earlier in her career, she spent three years abroad working as an Asian correspondent, including a one-year stint as an editor in China.

Over the years, Vawn has participated in public speaking events, moderated industry panels and delivered guest lectures to college students. When she’s not writing, she likes to get on an airplane — her travels have taken her from the cobblestone streets of old Tbilisi to the ancient Guge Kingdom in western Tibet. A personal highlight was publishing a short story in the non-fiction anthology, Emails From India: Women Write Home.

I’m fascinated by the psychology of money — how it shapes so many of our life decisions. Once we understand the role our emotions play in managing money, we can start making better decisions.
