About The Blog
I unexpectedly became a widow at 33. My husband and I spent much of our 10 years together travelling the world. This blog was originally for family and friends to follow our infrequent adventures in globe-trotting. But with the recent turn of events, it has become a way to share my walk through this process. There are moments of grief, but also moments of light. Eventually, I will write the rest of our travel stories, and someday I will travel again myself. But for now, it is a form of therapy, and a way to maybe help others put their feelings into words. Thank you for following. ~Katie
