Powerful Quotes by Katelyn
● For me, it’s all about nature and the outdoors. When you’re outside the city, you really feel alive and free.
● When I’m on a hike, I don’t really care if I don’t get to the destination. Sometimes I don’t even have a destination. I’m in it to explore and make my own path. It’s definitely the journey that is most important to me.
● You’re just present and in the moment. You’re looking around yourself. When I was in Nepal, there was no internet half the time, no cars, and the power went out a lot. Life was just so simple. People were happy. We ate real food. It was so easy to drop everything and just enjoy the moment when I was out there.
● The hardest thing about travel, always, is coming home.
● Don’t put off travel. Do it now. Do it while you’re young and healthy. You can always earn more money later on. You just learn so much and experience things that you wouldn’t otherwise. Connect with Katelyn on Instagram and YouTube
