Meet Kara Paul

Welcome to my blog! My goal is to share the beauty of Montana and beyond with my followers. I seek to inspire women & couples to find adventures worldwide. I travel despite having anxiety and other fears. I love to feature travels that are sometimes simple, sometimes grand; sometimes near, and sometimes far. 

On my blog you’ll find a mix of solo travel, group travel, and couples travel, as well as budget and luxury activities, so there’s something for everyone on my blog. When I’m not traveling, I spend time with my husband and dream of our next trip.

I am pleased to say I am a Happier Ambassador for one of my favorite companies, Happier Place. As a Happier Ambassador, I earn from qualifying purchases.  If you decide to purchase through one of these links, I will receive a small commission at no additional charge to you.
