Hey Friends! My Name is Kimmie.
I’m an indefinite traveler, and many know me as a nomad, tour guide, photographer, blogger, adventurer, festival fairy, solo traveler, serial experience seeker, and/or self-proclaimed mermaid 😛
I’m passionate about making the most of life – obsessive, some may say – which is why I started this blog to help you do the same! Here I share my tips from living, working, traveling, and struggling through 65+ countries.
A&S is designed to inspire young-at-heart travelers to plan AND make the most of a dream trip. I focus on unique + boutique travel experiences perfect for the insta-savvy adventurer who enjoys going off the beaten track while finding the best photo ops and cute spots – on a budget but with the occasional splurge.
