Hi my name is Katie and I have always loved to travel. My first international trip was to Japan in 2011. Ever since then I caught the travel bug and went on trips to the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Scotland. From 2023-2024 I chose to take a sabbatical from work after experiencing major burnout. I took the opportunity to travel to places around the world I have always wanted to visit.
I didn’t travel every day, in fact, I only traveled about 6 months out of the year. So there is a lot that I saw and certainly a lot I still haven’t had a chance to see. But I’ve enjoyed having the freedom and flexibility to travel and see more than I ever had on PTO with my 9-5. It also gave me the time to learn more about myself and focus on what I want in life.
While I don’t recommend it to everyone, if you have the chance to travel I’ll always say to go for it. Much of my trips were done solo, others I was joined by one of my siblings. As it is coming to an end I have started working on this blog to share my experience and recommendations with my friends, family, and future travelers like you.
