At Discoveries Abroad, we aim to change this perception, showing that the world is more accessible than you may believe. We’re here to help you find the confidence, budget, and plan to travel the globe.
Our mission is to empower travelers with the knowledge and tools to turn their travel dreams into a reality. Furthermore, our values of adventure, authenticity, and inclusivity guide everything that we do in our community.
My name is Kirsten, and I am the founder and author of Discoveries Abroad. I’m a 22-year-old woman from Canada, with an immense passion for global studies and a desire to discover the world.
From a young age, I was captivated by the world’s history and mythology, especially ancient Greece. This fascination ignited a desire to explore and learn about the world, even though it felt like a faraway dream. Despite this, I continued to study the ancient past and its mysteries to nurture my passion.
Discoveries Abroad:
From Dreams to Reality
From childhood dreams to the creation of Discoveries Abroad, my journey has been a testament to perseverance and passion for exploration. My fascination with ancient cultures sparked my initial curiosity about the world beyond my doorstep. Despite feeling unrealistic, this passion continued to drive me forward.
The pivotal moment came during my senior year of high school when my mother gifted me an extraordinary trip to Greece with her. This was the ultimate first travel adventure and it was a transformative experience that solidified my decision to pursue Anthropology in college, where I delved deeper into the study of cultures and history.
However, after I graduated high school and looked toward my future, the onset of COVID-19 drastically altered my plans and the global travel landscape. Ultimately, the pandemic changed everyone’s lives, especially those prone to traveling. It felt limiting, discouraging, and eventually depressing. However, even as things began to open up again, travel restrictions and rising prices remained a challenge.
Amidst uncertainty, a friend became a catalyst for change. Her zest for life and exploration reignited my own desire to see the world. Together, we set out on a memorable journey to Hawaii, which coincided with significant personal changes–a shift in career and a newfound determination to turn setbacks into opportunities.
Out of this tumultuous period, emerged Discoveries Abroad–a platform born from a blend of passions for travel, research, destination studies, and a commitment to empowering others to explore the world without hesitation.
Through Discoveries Abroad, I aim to empower novice travelers with the knowledge to navigate the world confidently. In addition, we will provide seasoned travelers with fresh perspectives and opportunities to share their enriching stories and insights.
