Throw back to Summer of 2019! Who knew that at this moment- 2020 was around the corner just waiting to punch me in the face lol. I know I’m a bit late on saying this, but thank god 2020 is over! 2021- let’s get back to living life again.

What are you looking forward to the most this year?? Comment below! 👇

As a local, I’m super bummed about not being able to see the famous Rockefeller Tree lighting in person this year BUT I’ll definitely be tuning into tonight at 8 pm!!

Who else will be watching this iconic New York holiday moment from the comfort of their own couches?🎄🎄

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving yester

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving yesterday! I know that I’m most thankful for family, friends, and most of of all- my health. Now the countdown to Christmas begins! 🙌🙌

Check out my instastory to see how I decorated my apartment for the season! What’s your favorite part about this time of year?? 🎄🎅🏻🎄

I recently just watched the Venice episode of @net

I recently just watched the Venice episode of @netflix Somebody Feed Phil (AMAZING show) and it brought back all my memories of this magical place. Most people think Venice is way too touristy (pre-covid) but I was honestly in awe of the beauty of it. Every corner was out of a story book and the scenery alone was enough to see why so many people flock here. Venice, I miss you 😭
————
Not gonna lie- this year has been a tough pill to swallow with not being able travel. However, when I’m able to travel again, you better believe I’ll be even more grateful every local experiences (like eating the most delicious gelato on the canals of Venice) while I’m exploring new places ❤️
————
My top three choices of the first place I want to visit after covid are Morocco, Brazil or an African safari. Which one would you choose?!? Comment below 👇👇

Hey everyone! I figured it’s been a while since

Hey everyone! I figured it’s been a while since I introduced myself so let’s get reacquainted, shall we? Also, I’m just insanely bored and I love that I have this platform to connect with you during this crazy time. If you’re new here... thanks for stopping by 😘 Now sit back, relax, and grab a glass of wine while I reintroduce myself! 👇

My name is Karen. I was born and raised in Kentucky where I got a degree in TV/Film Production. I eventually ended up moving to the NYC when I was 24 years old- a far cry from the quiet world of suburbia Kentucky. I was a reality television Casting Producer for a while but then switched careers 3 years ago to become a recruiter (I’ll save that story for another time). I also studied abroad in London and I have traveled to 16 countries- ugh who else misses traveling?? 😭
————
The most important things to me at the moment are my family (now more than ever), my precious fur-baby Luna, video chats with my niece and nephew, safe outdoor dining with friends, taking walks, exploring my new neighborhood in Jersey City, and decorating my new apartment. Those little things keep my going through the hard times of this shitty year haha. What keeps YOU going!?
————
The world we are living in right now is scary and can be lonely- so don’t be shy and say hello! I’d love to meet you too! ❤️

#travelthrowback to one of my favorite cities in Canada- @montreal! This was taken at Belvédère Kondiaronk- the most beautiful viewpoint in this iconic town. Wishing I could see the fall foliage there right now! 🍁

Apple Pie Hard Cider, some great company (@katie_honadle 😉) and gorgeous rooftop views...it doesn’t get much better than this! Fall in NYC has always been one of my favorite times of the year! It’s so cozy, amazing weather and awesome flavors.
————
One thing that I loved about @230fifthrooftop is that they have a virtual menu with a QR code and then you order/pay for your drinks directly from your phone!! They deliver it right to your table too! It was so easy and fun! I think they should stick to this system even after COVID haha!

What’s your favorite fall drink or food??

Good morning everyone! I’m just going down my me

Good morning everyone! I’m just going down my memory lane again to one of my favorite areas of Philly...the gorgeous City Hall! Philly has definitely grown on me and every time I visit, I like it more and more. Also, I’m drooling thinking about Philly’s famous cheesesteak 🤤🤤 I miss you, Philly!
——————
Besides the popular cheesesteak places like Pats King of Steaks and Geno’s (both were way too touristy for me)...where is the best cheesesteak in Philly?? Let me know for next time I get to visit! 👇 @visitphilly #visitphilly

Here’s another #travelthrowback to one of the most unique cafes in one of my favorite cities I’ve ever visited...Copenhagen! @theunionkitchen offers some of the most delicious coffees with hilarious coffee art (swipe right to see what my coffee had to say to me haha). They also have some top notch pastries! You definitely need to put this on your Copenhagen bucket list once it’s safe to travel again!
————
Fun fact: did you know there are more bicycles than people in Copenhagen making it one of the most eco-friendly cities in the world?!

I guess the silver lining of this crazy disastrous

I guess the silver lining of this crazy disastrous year (so far) is that once things are better- it will be like breathing fresh air for the first time. I will have such a greater appreciation for precious moments like this one at the Sforzesco Castle in Milan. I will also cherish having a social life again! 😂

What’s has 2020 taught you? And what are you most looking forward to after this pandemic is over? Comment below! 👇

It’s hard to believe that 2 years ago today I took a trip around the world in just one day! And what made exploring @waltdisneyworld’s Epcot even more magical was sharing it with my amazing sister, @amominathletics! Best sister trip ever! ❤️👯‍♀️
————
My sister and I also got visit Harry Potter World at @universalorlando which was another destination that I finally got to check off my bucket list!
————
For when it’s safe to travel again- I’ll be sharing a Disney/Universal travel guide soon on wanderouskaren.com! Stay tuned!

Swipe to see videos of my recent sailing adventure with @classicharborline and my girl @rosaalexc!

Last night’s sunset cruise w/ @classicharborline

Last night’s sunset cruise w/ @classicharborline was such a fantastic night out. It was amazing to be able to do something normal for a change (don’t worry...everyone on board all wore masks and sat more than 6 ft away)! The stunning NYC views along with live jazz music and a glass of bubbly (which is included in the ticket price) was the perfect way to appreciate NYC all over again! Also, the company wasn’t too bad either 😉 @rosaalexc

The Oslo Opera House is one of my favorite hot spo

The Oslo Opera House is one of my favorite hot spots in Oslo because unlike most landmark buildings- they allow tourists and locals to walk all along the roof of this massive building...and it’s free! 🇳🇴 It’s stunning architecture makes it easy to see why millions of tourists flock here to see it every year. However, I definitely want to make a trip back to Norway and visit more of this beautiful Scandinavian country- especially to see the Northern lights (which is still on my never ending bucket list)!
———
I’m feeling inspired again while looking back at my photos from Norway. One day soon I’ll be back in an airplane going on my next big adventure! Who else is having travel withdrawal??!

Is it me or is Philly one of the most underrated cities in the US? It has some of the richest American history along with amazing food, hip neighborhoods with unbelievable street art and some really beautiful attractions like the @phillymagicgardens (pictured here). I think I’m definitely going to plan a trip back to the city of brotherly love after covid! Have you ever been to Philly before? If so- what was one of your favorite things about it??

NYC and NJ are getting close to finally reopening!

NYC and NJ are getting close to finally reopening! I couldn’t be more excited! Here’s a little #tbt to last Summer when @shashana_p and I visited the gorgeous lavender fields at @lavenderbythebay.
—————
Even though their fields are closed for the season due to COVID-19, their farm stands are still open for curbside sales. You can also order online! If you love lavender and you want to support a local farm/business- go check out their adorable merchandise!

While I’m adjusting to the new normal and still

While I’m adjusting to the new normal and still trying to accept the fact that I won’t be traveling anytime soon- I‘m extremely thankful that 2019 was the best travel year of my life. I definitely left a piece of heart in Venice last Summer 🇮🇹 ❤️🇮🇹 #travelthrowback
