- You’re an aspiring travel creator overwhelmed by the mixed information you're finding by "Googling" everything yourself. You're struggling to put together a real strategy to launch your business and actually succeed in the travel blogging industry.
- You're a current hobby creator, and have taken some steps to launch your travel blogging business, but haven't had much success landing your dream brand partnerships. You feel like you're just running an expensive hobby at this point.

Up-Level
Your Life
Wilting. 🥀
Just stagnant.
Comfortable.
Mundane.
No real risk, but no real reward either.
Just there, slightly dead inside.
Everything in life is a risk, but risks are worth taking when the pull towards the life you’re dreaming of is stronger than the pull to stay in your current comfort zone — not dead, but not alive either.
Dramatic? Maybe. But not if it's the way you're truly feeling. It's how I felt before I took the steps to become a travel creator.
If this sounds like you too then it's time to bet on yourself.
Because life shouldn't just be enjoyed on the weekends.
I'm ready to change my life!
In just 6 months you could be living your travel blogger dreams.
And you won’t have to do it alone.
I will help you get there.
Because I’ve been there. And I took action.
I made the change.
And I made tons of mistakes along the way — trying every possible route to freedom and the travel lifestyle.
And because I made these mistakes, now you don’t have to.
I’ll help you launch your dream travel blog, land partnerships with brands like The Four Seasons Resorts & Hotels, and get paid to travel to Japan, Switzerland, and Barcelona.
Just like I did in 2014, and continue to do now, a whole DECADE later ✈️
A Decade of Experience
Hi, I'm Karen:
2x Travel Blog Founder & Creator Marketing Consultant
I launched my first travel blog in 2014, which made my dreams of traveling around the world in luxury come true… all while getting paid for it! Lifestyle Traveler grew to over 3 million monthly viewers across platforms, and took me around the world for partnerships with brands like Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Airbnb, and Japan Tourism, to name a few.
On January of 2021, I sold Lifestyle Traveler after 7 years of travel blogging. I did this to learn the other side of the creator industry - the brand side.
I worked in-house for tech startups and international Fortune 100 companies leading social media and influencer marketing.
So in June of 2023, armed with newfound knowledge and industry expertise, I launched my second travel creator business — Aesthetics Traveler — with a mission to help aspiring travel creators launch their own travel blog and get paid to travel the world.
This brand-side experience gave me the dual-sided knowledge to take my creator career to the next level, as I learned how to speak the brand’s language for partnerships.
Making your travel dreams come true, just like I did 🥹✈️
I'm ready to take the leap!
