Hi! I’m Karen.
My three favorite things are traveling, photography, and personal finance. Of course, I found a way to combine them!
I am a photographer, filmmaker, traveler, writer, graphic and web designer, real estate agent, personal finance accountant, ex-corporate finance accountant, and so much more. As you can probably guess, I keep myself pretty busy. I can’t help but think of new ideas and dive headfirst into them.
I have been a photographer for 15+ years and specialize in documentary-style photography. Throughout those years my interests expanded to filmmaking, graphic design, and web design. Naturally, when I started traveling, my camera came along with me. I fell in love with seeing parts of the world I haven’t seen before and experiencing things different from my normal. So far, I have traveled to 20 countries and 22 US states, and I am always looking for new places to explore. Photography has always made that exploration even more fun and helped me end up in places that I would have least expected. There is something about a camera being in your hand that pushes you to explore that hidden spot, walk that extra mile, and improve your patience when waiting for something amazing.
This is how I came up with the concept of The Everyday Adventure. When you start to think of everything as an adventure, it makes life a little more exciting.
I help with everything travel. From before your trip to after, and everything in between! I especially love to help people who work 9-5 every week, or even more, but still have that itch to see the world. I am right there with all of you. Utilizing my weekends, holidays, and PTO strategically is my specialty. Not all of us can take off large amounts of time for travel, and that’s okay! Let’s travel the world together, and that includes the destinations that seem too far away.
