A Life Unpacked
About the Substack
Personal essays about unpacking my attempt to focus on what matters most in life: Connection, Courage, the Great OutDoors, and Travel with writing that is at times self-deprecating, vulnerable (did she really say that?), and spicy (yes, she did).
About Kaarin Marx Smith
Former humanitarian aid worker turned writer. Writing and travel are what bind my life together, helping me make sense of the world. I can be self-deprecating, vulnerable, and a bit spicy--just ask Facebook. They banned me for life!
