Welcome to Wander With KT!
Your Outdoorsy Guide to National Parks and Northeast Adventures
Hey y’all! I’m Kati Fortier—a full-time educator, outdoor travel blogger, and budget-adventure enthusiast based in upstate New York. My love for the trail started over a decade ago when I was thrown into the wilderness of the Adirondacks, sparking a passion for hiking, camping, and exploration, but I’ve always loved to travel!
Now, I spend weekends and school breaks hitting the road. I know what it’s like to crave a massive trip but have a limited budget and a full-time work schedule. I’m here to share everything I’ve learned to prove that epic, bucket-list adventures don’t have to break the bank.
Over the years, I’ve planned everything from multi-week, cross-country road trips and budget-friendly weekend getaways to international journeys. At WanderwithKT.com, I use these real-world experiences and my teacher-level research skills to help you:
Master Budget-Friendly Travel: Learn our tested strategies for saving money on the road, finding affordable campsites, and exploring destinations without sacrificing the fun.

It’s time to stop waiting for that ‘someday’ trip…
Let me show you how to start adventuring now.
