Meet The
Blonde
Abroad
Hi, I’m Kiki, a California native, who left my career in corporate wealth management in 2011 to embark on a summer of soul-searching that would change the course of my life forever.
My Favorite Beach
Like many people, I was taught to go to college, get a job, get married, have kids and live happily ever after. Not once did I consider that chasing the societal idea of “success” would lead me to an unfulfilling and unhappy life. Back in 2011, I took a hiatus from my career and spent 3 months traveling through Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Bali and New Zealand and experienced the empowerment of solo travel for the first time.
Since embarking on that first world tour, I've spent the past decade sharing my personal journey and travel tips on this website with women around the world. I have traveled to over 70 countries, lived in Cape Town, South Africa, and have settled down in California—and I'm not stopping there! READ MY FULL STORY
