I just finished up my first group trip of 2024 and it was a raging success! I put together an itinerary that offered the best of the Big Island and I believe all of my travelers had an outstanding experience. I had a couple of people who had been to other islands in Hawaii before but this was a first visit to the Big Island for everyone! I’m so grateful that I got to meet these wonderful people and share what I love about this beautiful island with them! 💖💖💖

➡️ If you are interested in joining me on an upcoming group trip to Hawaii, leave a comment with the month you would like to travel. All trips to Hawaii will be 1 week long. Singles and couples are welcome!

Wanderlust: a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world.

🗺️ I am afraid I suffer from a severe case of wanderlust.

🤔 I am not exactly sure where it came from or what caused it, but I know the only remedy is to get out into the world and see it.

🗺️ This is not something that everyone understands about me, nor is it a quality that others always appreciate or even like. That’s okay though. I don’t travel to appease other people. I do it for me.

🗺️ Exploring the world is part of who I am. Checking off those bucket list destinations, and finally reaching those incredible places and experiencing them firsthand, is a feeling I can’t really describe adequately.

📍Hobbiton: another magical place in this world that I’ve always wanted to see, finally checked off my list.

🗺️ Obviously, this place is based on imagination and created as a movie set, rather than a real world civilization with thousands of years of history. That doesn’t matter though. As I read The Hobbit while I was in the 9th grade, I couldn’t help but wonder about The Shire.

🗺️ A few years later when The Lord of the Rings movie came out, I got to see what I could only picture in my mind before that. It was beautiful.

🗺️ Yesterday, I got to see The Shire for myself. I hopped on a plane with Wade to New Zealand a couple days ago and I have no regrets!

🗺️ You just gotta get out there and live your life! Experience the world. Enjoy the journey. That is exactly what I am doing.

Do you want to know the number one thing that solo travel has taught me?

✅ Save and ❤️ this post if you’re an aspiring solo traveler!

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

💚 The number one thing that solo travel has taught me is self reliance.

💚 This is a skill that has carried me through much more than just traveling the world.

💚 Through my divorce I came to understand that nobody is coming to rescue me and I have to take care of myself.

💚 I don’t have anyone I can depend on except for myself, and that’s ok.

💚 I am strong and capable. I don’t need to rely on anyone else.

💚 I have learned to trust my intuition, make new friends, step out of my comfort zone, and I’ve grown in ways I never expected.

💚 It’s not always easy, there are definitely challenges and trials, but I have become remarkably resilient and gained a lot of confidence in myself and that is priceless!

🤔 Do you play it safe? Color within the lines? Follow the expected path?

💚 I used to. My life was a whole lot more traditional then. I had a better idea about how things would work out, no guarantees of course, but the general outcome could be anticipated.

💚 Now, there is so much about my current life that my former self wouldn’t even recognize. Sometimes it’s thrilling and other times I find myself very unsettled by it. Old habits are hard to bury.

💚 The challenges and situations I find myself faced with these days were not even on my radar a year ago. I struggle. A lot.

💚 There are perks and drawbacks to this of course. I’m pushing myself out of my comfort zone on a daily basis and that’s not something I would have ever done before. I’ve grown so much.

💚 I experience loneliness and that impacts me pretty harshly at times. I’m also super comfortable being alone and I don’t mind doing things on my own.

💚 There’s something about being here in Hawaii that seems to bring out some pretty deep self reflection for me. I have been needing the downtime, so I’m taking advantage of it.

💚 This Island is beautiful. If you haven’t had a chance to enjoy it yet. I encourage you to take the trip.

💚 If you’re single, you can check my events for details on the Singles Trip to Hawaii coming up in March. I’ve made all the arrangements for you, just show up and enjoy!

Are you happy right now?

❓Are you living your best life?

➡️ Are you doing things you enjoy?

➡️ Are you going the places you want to go?

➡️ Are you finding joy, or merely just surviving?

😕 I know what it’s like to just be living in survival mode. I did that for a long time. I was so unhappy…. and I think I probably had a negative impact on the people closest to me because of it.

⭐️ I have a different mindset now. I wake up every day open to possibilities and embrace the adventure that awaits.

⭐️ It’s not always sunshine and rainbows, of course, but for the most part, life is pretty good.

⭐️ I am fortunate enough to have a work schedule that allows me to maximize my travel time and I have the freedom to go where I want.

✅ It’s pretty amazing!

➡️ Do you want to travel more?

➡️ Are you nervous about traveling because you lack experience?

➡️ Are you overwhelmed with planning out all the details and making the arrangements to go?

➡️ Do you not have someone else to travel with?

✅ I have solutions to all of these questions!

✅ I can show you how I travel. I will make all of the arrangements for you. I plan incredible itineraries for small groups and lead the trips so you can have an awesome experience.

✅ I have taken care of all of the details so you can just book a flight, and show up to enjoy an amazing adventure!

➡️ Check the link in my bio for details on my latest group trips. Ask me your questions in the comments or send me a DM. I’d love to have you join me for an adventure!

What is it that’s stopping you from taking that next step?

What is holding you back from doing that thing you desperately want to do?

Is it the fear of the unknown? Well, I’m afraid there are no guarantees in this life. It’s impossible to know what’s going to happen in the future, despite our best laid plans.

Is it the fear of failure or rejection? That’s a big one… but honestly failure and rejection are what cause us to grow. We can’t very well take that out of the equation and expect to improve ourselves.

What I can tell you is that staying home, looking at myself in the mirror, day after day and wondering “what if?” was not something I could live with.

I have to give this my best effort because…

What if it turns out better than I could have ever imagined?

Think about that.

Here are my top tools for making my travel content!

I get tons of questions about how I get my footage and photos. Here are the details!

⭐️ iPhone 13 Pro

⭐️ PIVO Tripod

⭐️ Atumtek Tripod Mount

⭐️ Lots of practice!

Learning to take good pictures while traveling takes a good deal of trial and error. When I look back on the photos I used to take, I cringe a little. I’ve learned a lot, and it’s an ongoing process. There are people out there with amazing photography skills. I’m just a regular girl, taking pictures of my adventures in order to share. I’m making realistic travel content that’s obtainable for people just like you!

There are several editing apps I use for lighting, presets, captions and videos. My favorites are Lightroom, and Capcut, but I use a few others sometimes. If you have any questions about them, just leave a comment.

Hi, my name is Katie, and I have big feelings.

This is something I know about myself and I’m comfortable with it. I’m also super comfortable expressing my feelings, but I have found that a lot of people are not.

For many people, expressing their feelings is scary and it makes them feel uncomfortable.

I don’t understand this. For me, it’s way easier to have all my cards on the table and I really don’t enjoy guessing games.

If you feel a certain way about someone, tell them. Otherwise, how will they know? Even if they don’t feel the same way, isn’t it better to know rather than keep wondering?

Thanks for coming to my TED talk today!

Do you want to know the logistics for living in Paris?

✅ Save this post for your next long stay ➡️ and send it to a friend who is interested in moving to Paris!

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

🏡 I’m sharing some transparency about the cost of living in Paris versus Salt Lake City, Utah.

🏡 I get a lot of questions about this and obviously costs can vary.

🏡 My apartment in Utah is larger than what I typically rent in Paris, but it’s still very small, at only 650 square feet.

🏡 My apartment in Paris is fully furnished and that is not the case in Salt Lake City.

🏡 I have had an excellent experience renting apartments through Paris Attitude Their website is easy to navigate and their staff is super responsive. I have been able to sign my leases and make all of my arrangements prior to arriving each time. The minimum stay is 1 month, but most landlords prefer a longer stay.

🏡 In my experience, working with Paris Attitude has been far superior and more affordable than staying in an AirBnB.

🏡 I could definitely spend more on renting an apartment in Paris, depending on the area of the city I’m in and the size of the apartment I choose. So far, renting a studio apartment has met my needs.

🏡 Eventually when I choose to buy a place in Paris, I will be looking for something larger, most likely a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom. I want to be able to accommodate friends and family when they visit me.

💚 One thing I wish I understood sooner in life is that you just have to start.

💚 My natural disposition is to have a plan and stick to it. I’ve always been so goal oriented. I’ve always played it safe and followed all the rules.

💚 Life had something else in store for me, despite my best efforts to stick to the plan I had carefully crafted.

💚 Letting go has been a huge challenge for me, but it’s also been so liberating!

💚 Sometimes I fall into old habits, but I am able to recognize it quickly and find peace with what is.

💚 My life looks a lot different now. I still have goals, of course, but they are based on how I feel, rather than an expectation of a certain outcome.

💚 My goal is happiness and to experience a life well lived and all that goes along with it.

💚 If at some point I find that what I’m doing isn’t bringing me joy, well then I can change my course. It’s ok.

💚 Not having a concrete plan for my life is definitely out of character for me and for a while, it was out of my comfort zone…. But since I took the leap, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

❤️this post and share it with a friend who needs some encouragement to take the leap.

This is the number one thing I wish I understood when I was younger.

⬇️⬇️⬇️

⭐️ Self care needs to be a priority in your life.

⭐️ If you aren’t taking care of your own needs, how are you supposed to take care of anyone else?

⭐️ I have said it before and I will say it again: You can give so much more of yourself to those you love and those who depend on you, when your own needs are met.

⭐️ When you put your happiness and your needs on the back burner you have less energy to give others.

⭐️ You are allowed to make your happiness a priority and take time for yourself to do the things you love.

⭐️ Our society has lied to you by telling you that taking care of your own needs first is selfish. I’m sorry, but that is just not true.

⭐️ Take a break. Cut yourself some slack. Offer yourself the same grace you give to others.

⭐️ Invest in yourself. Take that trip you’ve always wanted to go on. Dance in a waterfall.

I went out with FUN Activities Azores Adventure to do some Canyoning.

⭐️ I had a fantastic experience! My guides, Ivan and Claudio, took excellent care of me the whole time. I felt very safe and got to do some really exciting things.

⭐️ If you’re going to be visiting São Miguel Island in the Azores, I highly recommend doing this.

⭐️ Make sure to book in advance, they keep the groups pretty small and this is a popular activity here.

⭐️ I paid €65 for a half day experience and that included all of my gear.

⭐️ You can book on the website or reach out to them on WhatsApp, which is what I did. ☎️ +351 911 014 212 www.fun-activities.net

Here is some of my best advice ➡️

⭐️ Don’t just listen to what they say… Go see.

⭐️ You can gain a lot from books and documentaries, YouTube videos, and my Instagram posts.

✅ There is NOTHING that will substitute for going and seeing these places for yourself though.

Sete Cidades

🌋 The Sete Cidades volcano is located on western side of São Miguel island.

🌋 The last eruption occurred around 500 AD.

🌋 The central caldera is circular and it’s just over 3 miles across. The interior is occupied by 4 lakes and various volcanic structures including cones and lava domes and a settlement with around 800 residents.

🌋 Lagoa das Sete Cidades are the two crater lakes within the main part of crater. They are referred to by the color of the waters: blue, Lagoa Azul, and green, Lagoa Verde.

🌋 The best way to get here is by rental car. The drive is incredibly scenic so don’t forget your camera!

🌋 There are several viewpoints, including the famous Vista do Rei, with the (haunted) abandoned hotel.

🌋 There are lots of hiking trails, and plenty of recreational activities to participate in including biking and kayaking.
