About Kylah
My Story
From a young age, travel was in my veins. I took my first international trip to Paris when I was just five years old, and it’s wild how vividly I remember it. That trip cemented something in me.
I was raised by an incredible single mother who always preached the importance of experiences over things, and together we began traveling, creating memories that shaped how I see the world. I’ve been lucky and incredibly grateful to travel with my family to places like Alaska, Madrid, Agra, Japan, and Singapore.
Even during college, I found ways to see the world for FREE, from studying abroad in Australia to teaching science in Kenya.
Now, post-college, I’m working full-time… and I still can’t sit still.
You don’t need weeks off or a huge budget to experience something new. That’s where the idea of a micro trip came in — short, meaningful getaways that fit into real life. I’m here to help you turn weekends into adventures, and discover how much joy can fit into just a couple of days away.
micro trip (noun) – a short, intentional getaway (usually a weekend or 1–3 days) that makes the most of limited time without sacrificing the adventure.
