About Katie Kinsley

Why I Haven't Niched Down katie kinsley black dress

Hi. I’m Katie.

I’m designing a life I love with more time and more freedom to do what I want.

I started this blog in 2009 as a way to document a study abroad trip to South Korea. My love of travel is what kept me writing. So much so that I have over 100 posts on travel!

Like this blog, my life has gone through many changes throughout the years through the scary unknowns after college, to meeting my best friend, then marrying him and moving across the country.

I’m designing a life I love with more time and more freedom to do what I want. I’m on the journey creating joy in my life. This blog is a space dedicated to capturing my life and personal style while on a mission to inspire confidence.

Thank you for being here and allowing me to share my story with you!
