Welcome to Memories Per Mile!
Hi, I’m Karee! I’m a wife to my best friend, a mom to three amazing kids—two incredible daughters and one sweet little boy—and the heart behind Memories Per Mile.
Memories Per Mile blog is built around the things I love most: my family, traveling, and getting completely lost in a good book. Whether we’re exploring somewhere new, making memories close to home, or I’m curled up with my Kindle and a cup of coffee, I believe life is all about collecting moments and stories worth remembering.
As a military spouse, I’ve learned that home isn’t always a place—sometimes it’s the people you’re with. Over the years, we’ve packed up our lives every few years, chasing new adventures, exploring new cities, and making memories in places we never imagined we’d call home.
No matter where the Army has taken us, Colorado has always had my heart. I was born and raised here, and after years of moving, we’re finally back where the mountains, fresh air, and endless blue skies feel like home again. There’s just something about Colorado that fills my cup, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop being a mile-high dreamer.
One of the greatest gifts of this military life has been the opportunity to see so much of the world. So far, I’ve explored four of the seven continents, and I’m determined to visit them all—with Antarctica still patiently waiting on my bucket list. Whether it’s a weekend road trip through the Rockies or an adventure across the ocean, I believe the best journeys aren’t measured in miles, but in the memories you make with the people you love.
When I’m not planning our next adventure, you’ll almost always find me with a book in my hands or an audiobook playing in my headphones. Reading isn’t just a hobby—it’s a part of who I am. From epic fantasy worlds and unforgettable romances to stories that leave me thinking long after the final page, books have a way of taking me on adventures just as incredible as the ones I experience in real life.
I love discovering new authors, talking about favorite characters, recommending books that deserve more attention, and adding way too many titles to my ever-growing TBR. Whether I’m staying up way too late for “just one more chapter” or listening to an audiobook while tackling everyday life, there’s always a story keeping me company.
Books remind me that there are countless worlds to explore, lessons to learn, and people to connect with—making them the perfect companion to my love of travel. Whether I’m collecting passport stamps or filling another bookshelf, I’m always chasing my next great adventure.
Thank you so much for stopping by Memories Per Mile. It truly means the world to have you here.
My hope is that this little corner of the internet inspires you to book the trip you’ve been dreaming about, pick up the book that’s been sitting on your TBR, embrace life’s everyday adventures, and create memories that last a lifetime.
No matter where your journey takes you—across the world, through the pages of a great book, or simply into a new season of life—I hope you always find something worth exploring.
Here’s to collecting stories, chasing adventures, and making memories… one mile and one chapter at a time. 💙🏔️📚✈️
