WELCOME TO MY ADVENTURE!
My name is Kayla Keller and I am just your typical 20 something trying to figure out life by exploring every inch of the world. From my first trip abroad, I knew I had to discover more about myself and the world around me. My passion and desire to immerse myself in other cultures, live how the locals live, and experience it for myself first hand has led me to 20 countries thus far. I have studied, worked, and volunteered abroad all in different parts of the world. I hope after reading my stories, you feel inspired to chase after your wildest dreams. Join me on this journey to Finding Kayla!
