The Basics.

My name is Kaci, and travel is my passion. I love the foggy early mornings, the feeling of a plane taking off, and the sound of my suitcase rolling along in a hotel lobby. I love hearing foreign languages, sampling local specialties, and meeting nice people everywhere I go. I love the mini shampoos, the museums, the souvenirs, the temples, the mountains and the unpredictable weather. I even love packing. Most of all, I love sharing my experiences with you.

Originally from St. Louis, I graduated from Vanderbilt University with degrees in German and Mandarin Chinese. I am now based in Beijing and working for (of all things!) a travel company. I live with my husband Matt, our little girl Sylvie and our rescued street dog, Tin Tin. Starting in July 2017, I'll be pursuing my MBA through the Duke Cross Continent program.

I would be positively delighted to hear from you. Sign my guest book here, or drop me a line at kaci [dot] mcallister [at] gmail [dot] com. Spamming and/or stalking are actively discouraged.
