about Kylie Swanson
Kylie is a travel content creator and writer exploring the world full-time. A storyteller at heart, she is in the process of writing her first book, a memoir chronicling her adventures traveling around the world in two years, from Hawai’i and back. She is currently partnering with brands and writing her way through the east coast alongside her husband and son.
After residing on the beautiful Big Island of Hawai’i for six years, in July of 2021 Kylie and her family sold everything to return to the mainland US and drive across the country in search of a new place to call home. Coast to coast, twenty-five states, fourteen months and 60,000 miles added to the odometer later…the story was only beginning.
In the fall of 2022, Kylie and her son took a one-way flight from Chicago to Paris to backpack through Europe for 3 months on their own. With no plans, itineraries, bookings or otherwise — it was the ultimate experiment into a life of surrender, trust and the road less traveled.

with your one wild and precious life?”
