Hi, I’m Kazia

I am a mom, a nurse and I love to travel. I grew up in Southern California were I still live and love it. My father is a doctor who does cardiac research. He always wanted to travel growing up. He found a way to do his research in other countries so for a time growing up we lived in New Zealand and Switzerland. Those experiences living abroad at a young age profoundly impacted me and my life. I was determined to keep traveling, and I have. When I met my husband our first trip was to Peru. Later we were blessed with two wonderful boys. We took our son on his first international trip at four months old. I believe that travel gives us a bigger frame for our perspectives.

I have a saying in my family, “the beautiful life” to me that means sharing life with those you love, good food, and seeing the beauty in life whether that is right outside your front door or around the world. I love planning for a trip almost as much as being there. My nurse friends always joke that when I retire from nursing I will be their travel agent full-time because I am always on the hunt for a deal. I want the most value I can get for my hard earned money in my travel experience. Join me in the search for the beautiful life.
