Roberta Beach Jacobson (born July 21, 1952) is an American journalist, humorist, and early ezine editor. Jacobson was born as Roberta Beach Johnson in Worcester, Massachusetts. Her first publication came at age 8 in ''Jack and Jill''. After finishing high-school in 1970, she joined the United States Army which sent her to Europe. She remains an expatriate, saying "I prefer Europe. I'm where I want to be". (Travelwriters.com, 2004) After leaving the armed forces, she followed in the footsteps of her grandfather, Robert K. Beach, and mother, Roberta Beach Johnson and became a journalist, joining the ''Stars & Stripes'' publication in Germany at the news desk, and later the city desk. During her ''Stars & Stripes'' work, Jacobson drew attention from a column entitled, "Dear Bobby" that ran from the late 1980s to the early 1990s in the ''Shoppers Bi-Weekly News'', distributed in Europe. In 1996 Jacobson became a full-time freelance writer working for travel publications, translating books and contributing to anthologies. In 1999 she relocated to the remote Greek island of Karpathos, and became the editor of an early internet ezine, Kafenio.
