Get to Know KT
KT – short for Kati, shorter for Kaitlyn – grew up in the suburbs of Long Island, about 45 minutes outside of New York City, to two hard working NYC police officers.
As a kid and teenager she spent the majority of her time playing sports and spending time with family and friends.
She went to the State University of New York at Cortland (shout out Red Dragons!) where she studied to be a Physical Education and Health teacher while playing Division III Volleyball and working as a waitress.
Her life was forever changed when she was forced to spend two weeks in the Adirondacks for college credit.
It was here , thrown into the wilderness with a backpack and brand new outdoor skills, that her love for the outdoors truly began…
Since those life altering two weeks, KT has hiked and biked thousands of miles across the United States, Canada, and Internationally. Almost all of these miles have been with Spencer, her college sweetheart and now husband, by her side. She feels incredibly lucky to have found her forever adventure buddy.
KT and Spencer even had their closest family and friends climb a mountain in October for their wedding ceremony… just kidding, they took the ski lift – but it was still an adventure and a chilly one at that!
Both teachers, KT and Spencer plan epic adventures around their weekends, school breaks, and summer vacations.
Playing in their local Northeast USA natural playground, exploring National Parks, and planning epic road trips bring KT and Spencer great joy.
The only thing they love more is to share their adventures with others! Helping people plan incredible trips around their 9-5 is why this whole blog exists… so lets get out there and wander with KT!
