Listen "Season 3 Episode 14: Makin Moves with Katie"
Episode Synopsis
Ayyyy welcome back to your fave travel podcast. Thanks for tuning in and getting yourself ready to make some MOVES with me. Let's get it!In Season 3 Episode 14, I am joined by Katie who turns out to live not too far from me back in the US. Additionally, when we recorded the episode, we actually happened to be a 14 minute walk apart from each other in Medellín, Colombia....small world indeed. Anyways, Katie is a 23-year-old full-time traveler from Pennsylvania who’s been chasing adventure ever since studying abroad in Madrid, Spain. During those five unforgettable months, she explored France, Italy, Portugal, and England—and that’s when the travel bug officially bit. Katie knew then and there that she wanted to find a way to travel full-time after graduation.That opportunity came sooner than expected when she decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail—a 2,200-mile journey from Mexico to Canada. Despite having only camped once and zero backpacking experience, Katie dove in headfirst. Over five months, she walked the entire trail, sometimes covering more than 30 miles a day.Now, Katie funds her travels with savings from her work as an EMT—a job she picked up during school while planning to apply to PA programs. Though her path changed, the job turned out to be the perfect fit, allowing her to work just seven weeks a year and travel for the other nine.At the moment, Katie is solo-traveling through South America until June. After that, she’s headed back to Europe for three months to host a group trip in Portugal and hike the Camino de Santiago in Spain—just another chapter in her ever-growing adventure.
