About Us
Hi! We’re Katelin and Nick. We’ve dreamed of taking a year off to travel since 2017, and after years of saving we’re doing it! While we have a lot of ideas for what we hope the year will look like-we don’t really know. Our posts will likely be an eclectic mix of our daily delights, detailed thoughts and suggestions on the places we spend more time, how we planned for the trip and what we’ve learned along the way.
