Yasmine Shemesh

I’m a writer and journalist based in Vancouver, BC, with a degree in English Literature from Simon Fraser University. I’m the CITY Editor at BeatRoute Magazine and a contributor to a variety of publications including Exclaim! and enRoute Magazine. When I’m not listening to live music somewhere, you can often find me sitting on a beach with a good book and a sunset. Or looking for adventure—in recent years, I’ve lived in Tel Aviv, explored Alaska, camped along the Oregon coast and roadtripped through the Scottish Highlands. I’m passionate about life and slowing down to enjoy the moment.
