About Me

Karen Carifee

Travel Jetsetter Enthusiast

Hello, I am a Travel Jetsetter enthusiast who is excited to share some fun and exciting travel tips and fashion advice for your next trip. I can also help plan and book any jetsetter adventure you have dreamed up, so let’s make it a reality. 

My name is Karen Carifee, and this is about me!! I have always been in love with traveling and seeing the world for as long as I can remember. I just want to share my passion for travel and fashion combined with anyone who has ever been on the downside of life and thinks it’s impossible to dream up for themselves. I am forty-five years old, and my life has been amazing, even with all the f*ck up’s I have had in my lifetime.

I had a baby at the age of seventeen and this was just the beginning of many life lessons that I would endure in my younger days. But it was the best thing that ever could have happened to me at the same time. I have been married three times and it is so nice to finally be married to someone who loves me unconditionally.  

Before my current husband, I had been in some volatile relationships. At one time I lived out of my car, and I have been in some form of service to others my whole life. My first job, I started out as a server at the age of sixteen and at thirty-six, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Retail Merchandising Management. When I graduated, I got a job as the truck manager for Ulta.  

I first fell in love with fashion in my early twenties after being told that I will always be too fat or ugly and that no man will ever love me. As you can guess this was from a very insecure controlling husband who thought that I would just sit around and take his abuse, well it did not take me long to realize this is not for me.

As the years went by

I really became a brand-name junkie who kept pushing my personal boundaries to see what I love for myself and fit my body type.

The funniest thing about dressing up, is how many people ask why I am so dressed up. But, in all reality, I love no matter what the occasion is to wear whatever makes me feel pretty. Shopping has also become something that I do to help me get through life, it is my love language. I have learned to find amazing deals or look at something on the rack and know that it will be the perfect outfit for whatever occasion or trip I have planned. So, here I am living my best life getting to explore the world. Hopefully, I can  share some fun tips and tricks that I keep discovering on my journeys in life. With my travels, I will share some stories that will help inspire anyone out there that is stuck in their marriage, or that forever battle to be skinny. Don’t think that clothes are only made for supermodels. I want to hopefully change that perception for anyone needing some inspiration, as well as get you traveling so you can live your best life ever….

My mission is to bring dreams of traveling to a reality, show my clients that together we can make traveling a fun, creative, and unique experience that will last a lifetime.
