After leaving New York and a career in public relations, MacKenzie set off to see the world. She got as far as Beirut, Lebanon, where she ended up spending eight years with a pen in her hand. MacKenzie was editor of Time Out Beirut and has also contributed to The Wall Street Journal, Vogue.com, Nylon, Condé Nast Traveller Middle East and more. Now back in the U.S., she lives in Los Angeles with her husband and young daughter, the only person who relishes taking off her shoes in airport security lines. www.mackenziekassab.com, Twitter, Instagram, Vogue (contributor), Pinterest
