Kara is the creator, curator, and storyteller behind The Miles We Keep, a travel journal born from her journeys across more than 40 countries and nearly every state in the U.S. What began as a personal archive of moments — the kind that stay with you long after the plane lands — has evolved into a space where she transforms her global experiences into rich, evocative stories meant to inspire others to explore the world with intention.
Her travels have taken her from remote coastlines to bustling capitals, from mountain villages to luxury hideaways, each destination offering a new reminder of why she keeps going: to connect, to learn, and to uncover the beauty stitched into every mile. Kara writes with a deep reverence for place — not just the sights, but the emotions, the atmospheres, the unexpected encounters that make travel feel transformative.
Through The Miles We Keep, she invites readers into these stories with the hope of igniting curiosity and empowering others to wander boldly. Her work blends reflection with realism, cinematic detail with heartfelt insight, capturing travel not merely as movement, but as an ongoing collection of memories that shape who we become.
For Kara, the miles matter — not because of where they lead, but because of what they leave behind. And she hopes the stories she shares here will inspire you to chase the journeys that will one day become the miles you keep.
The Miles We Keep is a space where travel becomes more than movement — it becomes meaning. Here, you’ll find stories of serene moments in faraway places, unexpected detours and travel mishaps that turned into memories, lessons learned from wandering off the path, and reflections on the people and experiences that shape each journey.
This blog is an invitation to slow down, savor the miles, and uncover the beauty hidden in both the planned and the unplanned. Whether you’re dreaming, planning, or reminiscing, you’ll find inspiration woven into every story shared here.
