Hi, I’m Kitty — traveler, storyteller, and founder of The Tipsy Vagabond.

 

I grew up on the move — modeling young, bartending my way across the country, and chasing a life far from ordinary. Bartending became my passport, carrying me from coast to coast in the U.S. and eventually around the world — from Mediterranean boat rides to London flats and wild Australian coastlines.

 

Along the way, I gathered stories: heartbreaks and healings, strangers who became family, and quiet moments that changed everything. For years I’ve shared those pieces behind the bar, on social media, and in journals stuffed into backpacks. Now I’m gathering them here — to build something that lasts.

 

The Tipsy Vagabond is where it all comes together — the storytelling, the wanderlust, and the creation of a new kind of travel company. It’s for the dreamers, the seekers, the ones who leap before the map is drawn.

 

My blog, Flight Risk, Heart First, is the heart of it all — the words, the reflections, and the stories that inspired this brand.

 

Soon, I’ll be opening the doors to small-group adventures that blend festivals, folklore, and soul-deep travel — beginning in Ireland, where this next chapter begins.

 

This isn’t just about seeing the world.

It’s about remembering who you are when you do.
