I\u2019m Katie, an adventurous traveler and hiker who loves to explore this incredible world. I discovered my love for travel a decade ago with a monthlong trip throughout Europe and I haven&#8217;t stopped traveling since! I created this blog to share my best tips and tricks, itineraries, and of course, some beautiful photos, to help you plan your next trip. I&#8217;m also a content creator and am based in Asheville, NC, so I have no shortage of amazing places to explore nearby, though I still love to travel internationally and throughout the US.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been able to visit twenty five countries and thirty nine US states so far, and I plan to visit all seven continents, all fifty US states, and as many more countries as I can! I firmly believe that life is too short not to discover our diverse world and have new experiences, and it\u2019s never too late to get started.
