Cleo Paskal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cleo Paskal is a widely published foreign correspondent and travel writer who has contributed to, amongst others, The Economist, The Independent, and the Sunday Times. Her writing has won multiple awards and she is the only person to have won the North American Travel Journalists Association's grand prize twice. She has also hosted BBC radio shows and wrote the Emmy-winning TV series Cirque du Soleil: Fire Within. After nearly seven years with the National Post, in the summer of 2005 she moved her column to the Toronto Star. She is an Associate Fellow at Chatham House, aka the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
Her least acknowledged claims to fame are having been the voice for Betty in the cult cartoon series Adventures of the Little Koala and having played 'Cleo' in the schmaltzy but popular classic Canadian movie Lies My Father Told Me.
One of her specialities is the how climate change will affect geopolitics. She also writes often about the world's smallest countries. Not coincidentally, she is married to a man from the Faroe Islands.
