Like many others, she was taught to attend college, get employment, get married, and have children. She never once considered that pursuing the conventional ideal of &#8220;success&#8221; would result in a miserable and unfulfilling life. She took a break from her profession in 2011 and travelled for three months around Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Bali, and New Zealand to discover the liberating power of solo travel. She had faithfully adhered to a series of identities up to the summer of 2011, which had restricted her entire life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theblondeabroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22745 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-2.png 550w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-2-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-2-253x337.png 253w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That is, until a white horse-riding Prince Charming saved the world from a future filled with restrictions. Everything was taken out from under<strong> &#8220;An Overachiever&#8221; and &#8220;A Girlfriend&#8221;<\/strong> in only one short week during the sophomore year of college. She had only ever taken one flight in my life and had never left the country. She put down the deposit, terminated the lease on the flat without even telling her parents, gathered the meagre savings she had, and informed her employer that she would return in July. She spent a month learning Spanish in Spain before continuing on a three-week backpacking trip through <strong>England, Ireland, France,<\/strong> and Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22751 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"561\" height=\"742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-5.png 561w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-5-227x300.png 227w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-5-255x337.png 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0She gained a newfound sense of independence throughout her time abroad on her very first international excursion, as well as exposure to other cultures and historical sites. She felt inspired upon returning home, was hooked, and was prepared for more. She declared Financial Service as her major after she returned from her trip to Europe in the fall of 2008. She then started her junior year of college. It was the most difficult business major, but it also offered a bright future of success. She volunteered with <strong>Global Water Brigades<\/strong> for the course of her spring break during my junior year of college. It was a brand-new global journey built on philanthropy. The experience left such an impression in her heart that she knew that one day she would live a life dedicated to supporting causes like <strong>GWB.<\/strong> If you really want some great travel inspiration, then Kiki\u2019s there. For a healthy glow and adventure-ready hair and to maintain the overall wellness, you need to travel in style and who better Kiki can help you in that. You will feel refreshingly gorgeous and smart. Some of her favorite products became my favorite too such as <strong>shampoo Bar, facial wipes, tinted sunscreen, eye gels,<\/strong> and for acne sufferers&#8217; acne treatment gels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22744 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-1.png 591w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-1-234x300.png 234w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kiki-1-263x337.png 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;border: 0;border-radius: 3px;margin: 1px;max-width: 540px;min-width: 326px;padding: 0;width: calc(100% - 2px)\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CTN3fn1v8DR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px\">\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row;align-items: center;text-align: center\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0px;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 50px;margin: 0px auto 12px;width: 50px;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;text-align: center\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0;font-family: Arial,sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 550;line-height: 18px\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0px;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center;text-align: center\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px;text-align: center\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd;font-family: Arial,sans-serif;font-size: 14px;line-height: 17px;margin-bottom: 0;margin-top: 8px;overflow: hidden;padding: 8px 0 7px;text-align: center\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd;font-family: Arial,sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 17px;text-decoration: none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CTN3fn1v8DR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Kiki | The Blonde Abroad | Travel Blogger (@theblondeabroad)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kiki, a native of California, quit her job in corporate wealth management in 2011 to spend the summer reflecting on her life, which would change it for the better.
