Get to Know Me
Hi, I’m Carol and I’m so excited to have you here! Here’s a bit of my story:
Travel has evolved immensely over the years for me. When I first started traveling in my late teens and early twenties, I was constantly seeking out “Instagram-worthy” spots—caught up in trying to get the “perfect” photos for social media. Looking back, it felt embarrassingly detached and superficial.
Over the years, travel has played a significant part in not only shaping the way I think, but also reminding me of what I value. In the States, we’ve been conditioned to believe that a full life means following a single path—landing higher job titles, accumulating material possessions, and more. We’re constantly chasing more without ever questioning why. But to what end?
Seeing how people live simply, yet so fully in different parts of the world has reminded me that the richest parts of life are often the simplest: spending time with the people I love, being outdoors in any capacity, working on the creative projects that bring me joy, and being present in the little moments of my everyday life.
Spending time outdoors has also had a tremendous impact on me. As cliché as it sounds, nature has a way of putting life into perspective. Being outdoors often reminds me how precious and fleeting life is—and how lucky we are to be able to experience this beautiful earth.
This blog shares my guides, itineraries, and experiences from my travels, hikes, camping trips, and more. I hope to inspire you to not only get outdoors and see this incredibly beautiful world, but to also live and travel more intentionally.
P.S. If anything I shared resonates with you or struck a chord, I’m always up for a coffee chat! Connect with me below. :)
