About Mary Kate

 
 

I am a nerd who lives for travel adventures.

How It All Began...

When I was 17 I was asked if I wanted to go to Hawaii with my best friend and her family for Spring Break. Of course I said YES and the rest is history. We went, and I fell in love with the world. I had never seen anything more beautiful or magical in all my life. Hawaii completely blew my mind and I was hooked. I quickly realized that the world had endless possibilities for adventures and I needed to see as much of it as I possibly could. Travel became a priority in my life and I have been lucky enough to see some pretty incredible places and to experience some amazing, once-in-a-lifetime kind of adventures. 

Budget has always been a major factor in my travel plans. Travel is not always cheap - especially when you're a poor college student working part-time as a waitress - but I have always been able to find ways to really stretch every dollar of my travel budget. If you're a fellow travel nerd that wants to explore the world but doesn't want to spend a small fortune, then look no further. Mary Kate Navigates is here to help.

I hope this blog can provide some insight, knowledge, or inspiration to someone else out there hoping to see the world one adventure at a time.

Adventure Always.

Cheers!

Mary Kate
