  • Fridays look a little different around here than they used to✈️ These photos were from the last trip I took before my Fulbright was suspended. • Here’s a story about the second photo🌷and my friendship with Kendal, the founder of @getawaygirlblog ! Kendal and I both attended a Fulbright conference in Kyiv, Ukraine in October. We didn’t actually meet during the conference, but at a late night gym session in our hotel. We were both working out and taking care of our health on the road 👊🏻 We were refilling our water bottles at the same time and we introduced ourselves! Turns out we had so much in common...she created a travel blog, lived and studied abroad before Fulbright, promoted solo female travel, AND lived a zero waste lifestyle! My mind was like 🤯! • Four months later, I traveled 12 hours from Ukraine to Belarus where she was completing her Fulbright. We saw different sites and spent a girls weekend together with another good friend! Travel friendships often have an unlikely start, but always amazing me! // #ANewerKatIn Belarus #conscioustravel #travelfriends
  • Sunday dreaming of traveling the world again🌍What’s one place that you want to return to? I dream of revisiting and traveling more slowly in Morocco, Portugal, and Ukraine! // #ANewerKatIn Morocco
  • “There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a third power stronger than both, that of women.” — @malala // Happy late international women’s day! 🌸❤️ Spent the day with some strong young women in Belarus who I’m happy to call my friends. Thankful for this community, my little home in Ukraine, and all the girls who lift me up! // #ANewerKatIn Minsk
  • Tried to think of a good caption but all I need to say is God is good, life is good, and I can’t wait to not wear this coat every day. Bought locally and made in Ukraine🇺🇦 P.S. I survived a 16.5 hour train after this photo was taken🤪// #ANewerKatIn Mariupol
  • When someone asks me why I chose to live abroad on and off for the last few years, I’ll show them this photo and answer that I live for the simple moments that lie in a dreamy sunset in a new place called home // #ANewerKatIn Ukraine
  • Got my purpose back👏🏻Visited four displaced universities and previously occupied cities in the East of Ukraine all week. I gave presentations on the intersection of fashion & sustainability and what it means to be an American in Ukraine. The students I met are still impacted by the war between Russia and Ukraine, and I am at a loss for words for how much they inspired me. // #ANewerKatIn Eastern Ukraine
