I’m katie,

psychologist

+ travel consultant.

Hi, I’m Katie—a social and cultural psychologist, writer, and travel consultant.

I hold a PhD in social and cultural psychology, and my work focuses on the psychology of travel, place, and identity—how our thoughts, emotions, and cultural context shape the way we experience the world, and how the places we’ve been continue to shape who we’re becoming.

Through research-informed writing, psychology-based frameworks, and thoughtfully designed travel guides, I help curious travelers travel more intentionally. My approach centers on understanding your inner landscape first—your personality, preferences, and emotional needs—so your journeys feel personally meaningful rather than performative.

work with me
 

I believe life is art, and we are its curators—here to create, connect, and celebrate the stories that make us who we are. Whether I’m partnering with travel brands on psychology-driven campaigns or planning bespoke trips for clients, my work is grounded in the idea that how we move through the world matters.

Alongside the work you will find housed here, I write Psychologie, a Substack publication where I explore travel psychology, identity, ritual, and meaning through a blend of research, storytelling, and reflection. This website is home to my most enduring ideas—the pieces designed to be returned to, not scrolled past.

If you can't find me hard at work in front of my computer or jet-setting to my next travel destination, I'm either roller-skating to catchy beats, growing a giant haul of garden flowers, or messily strumming the latest T. Swift hits on my ukulele. I’m also a certified masters-level yoga and meditation instructor.
