I'm Kim, a passionate globe trekker and the creative mind behind Prose and Passports. I've been a backpacker and world traveler for over 22 years, traveled to 34 countries, 28 of those solo, and even lived in Switzerland for a year to mend my heart during a difficult breakup. This is my little corner of the internet where I share travel tips, travel stories, and what it's like to leave the "real world" to chase my dreams in my mid-40s (which is scary and exciting)!

 

Prose and Passports was born in February 2024, shortly after publishing Backpackers' Guide to the Globe, a solo travel guide for women, that I hope you'll read! This blog is an extension of that passion project and an evolving platform, so pardon the stardust along the way!

You'll find I pour my heart into creating travel content designed to inspire, entertain, and educate you for your adventures. ​Some topics you may find on the blog include:

​​​​

• Solo Travel Tips 
  I traveled solo for 11 years before I met and traveled with my husband for the next 11. Now I'm 44 years old and starting to travel solo again (while still happily married). I am excited to reconnect with my solo travel superpowers (which can wane) and share solo travel tips to give you the confidence to travel the world solo (even if you're in a relationship) 
   

• Women's Travel Tips
  As nice as it would be to travel the world as unencumbered as men, the truth is there are considerations women must plan for and consider while traveling. This can range from personal safety to managing your period or birth control while traveling. I'll share some of my experiences and best advice from 22 years of traveling. 
   

• Couple Travels
  I have traveled with my husband for nearly as long as I traveled solo. Traveling with someone else (romantic or otherwise) is a learned skill (especially if you traveled solo in the past). I'll share my experiences in traveling with my partner to help you better navigate traveling with yours.
