Travel Content Creator | Nashville, TN

Hey there, I'm Katie! Originally from Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!), I've been calling Nashville home since 2017. What started as a move to be closer to my twin sister sparked something unexpected: a serious case of wanderlust that changed everything.

In 2020, I launched my YouTube channel to help travelers explore the world with confidence, one carry-on at a time. I create destination guides, travel tips, and packing advice that empower others, especially solo travelers, to experience more while traveling light.

Some of my favorite ways to experience a new destination include joining food tours to taste local cuisine and learn the lay of the land, not to mention enjoy one meal that’s already planned! I’m also a fan of ghost tours, where I can soak in the city’s history with a thrilling twist.

When I’m not traveling, I serve as an academic advisor to business students, helping the next generation of professionals find their path, much like I’ve done with my own journey into travel storytelling.

What you'll find here: Real travel experiences, practical advice, and resources designed to help you plan better trips with less stress. Because everyone deserves to see the world, and it doesn't have to be complicated.

My goal: Making travel planning less overwhelming and more exciting for everyone.

Follow along on YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest for travel guides, solo adventures, and my best carry-on tips!
