For the longest time I felt comfortable in the known routine. But turning 40 years old, I felt a rush to try and break out of the routine just a little bit. Just to get a taste of what else is out there. Simply Karina is me breaking out of the known into the unknown.

Putting myself and my newfound adventures out there for the world to see is a challenge that will hopefully be my little dream world inside the bigger reality. I have realized that in the end, memories are what endures, what keeps you linked to the things that made you who you are.

Simply Karina is simply me. Big adventures that take me around the world and let me rediscover who I am and where I want to go. Little adventures allow me to discover new favorite flavor of ice cream, a stunning view from a nearby bridge or wonderful new high heel shoes I’ll feel guilty for buying for the next two weeks.

So, who am I?
