I’m McKayla! I’m a 24 year old professional storyteller (aka social media manager) and a full-time explorer of new places. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I’ve decided to trade the east coast life for a nomadic one. My latest stop was Bordeaux, France—an incredible city with excellent wine, and pastries that made me question my diet and all my life choices in the best ways.

My dream is to travel to 75% of the countries in the world and all 7 continents. I’ve already been to 10% of the world (19 countries + 8 territories & counting), & while I know some places aren’t the safest to visit as a female traveler, I want to see as much as I can while staying safe.

I’m obsessed with uncovering hidden gems, whether it’s a tiny beach, a thrift shop shop, or a café with the perfect vibe for people-watching. When I’m not exploring new places, I’m on a mission to make luxury look effortless without maxing out my credit card. Think champagne taste on a Prosecco budget—it’s a talent I’m proud of.

That said, life on the go isn’t all glamorous. The hardest part? Missing my two dogs, Lucky and Marley, more than I care to admit because well, they’re the best.

This blog is my place to share my travels, fashion finds, favorite new foods and the occasional story about trying to make sense of this crazy, wonderful life. Whether you’re here for inspiration, a laugh, or just a distraction from work, welcome! Let’s figure out the whole adulting while still living your life thing together.
