Passport in Photos

is a space for travelers who crave beauty, depth, and a more intentional way of seeing the world. Through visually rich guides and personal reflections, I share places that inspire you to slow down, travel with curiosity, and connect more deeply—with yourself, others, and the world around you. From quiet day trips to immersive journeys abroad, this blog is about transforming travel into something more thoughtful, more personal, and more meaningful.

Meet Karen

I’m a NYC-based travel writer and photographer who sees travel as a way to lean into curiosity and connect more deeply with places, people, and ourselves. I believe that when we approach the world with openness and respect, we build more empathy, understanding, and lasting perspective.
