in Travel on 09/18/19

Sometimes memories are the greatest gift and we both LOVE to travel. Over the last several years we have ... View Post

When I first visited Utah, i was in awe of the landscape. It’s like nothing I have ever seen before and nothing like Maine. Visiting Canyonlands National Park was high on my bucket list!

Hi there, my name is Katie and I’m the girl behind Mainely Katie. My husband and I have developed a love for travel since college and are a planning a trip any chance we get. We have been to almost 20 countries together and have made a goal to visit every US National Park. 

My goal has never been to travel full time. I still work a full time job, but I am able to maximize my PTO to travel at least 4-6 times a year. 

My goal is to show people that travel is attainable for the average person. You don’t have to travel full time or quit your job to see the world! (But you totally could if you wanted to!)

We max out our PTO and help plan an ultimate family vacation every year (even at 32 years old)! We take advantage of long weekends, cheap flights and hotel points. Lots of people we work with always ask about our adventures, how we book them, how we find time. I started a blog to document all of our trips and I include lots of details. Traveling someplace new can be intimidating and I want people to feel confident when they plan their trips! 

Now we have a 5 month old and we can’t wait to take him on all our adventures. We have even decided to start over with our National Park bucket list so he can see them all too! 

Over the last few years, I have loved learning about photography and have documented all our trips. This has now turned into a love for content creation. With the help of TCP, I can level up my skills and more show people that travel is possible for everyone. Even with a full time job and a family!

We actually started in Las Vegas and made our way to Salt Lake City, Utah 🚘 
Hours of driving and hundreds of miles out on the rental car, but we would do it all over again
