Places I've explored, food I've loved, and experiences to remember.

About me

I'm Cat. I live in Los Angeles, and I love the outdoors.

One of my favorite things about traveling is experiencing something for the first time. It's exhilarating, and it helps me grow my perspective. I also love trip planning. I'm a hard J on the Myers-Briggs, so I love planning and packing in a lot of new experiences while I'm traveling.

I love food. I love discovering local dishes, trying new restaurants, and experiencing a place through its food. I'm much more excited about eating than cooking, so traveling is the perfect excuse to try everything. One of my favorite feelings is taking that first bite of something that's completely unexpected or so much better than I imagined.

I love trips where I can be active and spend time outdoors. Whether it's hiking through the mountains, skiing, or spending time on the ocean, I find that being outside is one of the best ways to really experience a place.

This journal is for me to remember these experiences. The fun of traveling doesn't end when the trip ends. I continue to think back on my trips fondly, and it brings me joy. And if sharing these experiences helps you discover a new place, even better!
