Hi, I’m Katie

The face behind the traveling spud

Once a full-time solo traveler and techie in San Francisco, I am now trying to find a balance between continuing to explore off-the-beaten-path places around the world as well as building a life in Idaho.

I’ve now traveled to over 40 countries and always have to have a trip planned in my future, whether big or small, just to stay sane! I’m goofy, not at all put together, and love to live BIG and cross things off my bucket list! I have a passion for sharing my tips and experiences with others and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned along the way with you.
