Where Care Meets Everyday Life
This is the space where I share the real-life moments that shape who we are and how we care for others. As a registered nurse and writer, my days are filled with human stories, meaningful connections, and lessons that don’t always fit neatly into a job description. Here you’ll find reflections from my work as a school nurse, stories rooted in patient advocacy, and honest conversations about caregiving, resilience, and the emotional side of healthcare.
I write about the experiences that stay with you long after the moment passes. Some posts come from clinical practice and compassionate care. Others come from everyday life, personal growth, and learning how to live with intention at home and in the world. Whether it’s navigating challenges, caring for others, or finding clarity in difficult seasons, this space is about the human side of health and life.
If you’re looking for healthcare stories, personal reflection, caregiving insight, or encouragement for intentional living, you’re in good company here.

Behind the Adventures
Hi, I’m Kari
My son Carson and I have a heart for travel, food, new experiences and enjoy getting to know different cultures and people groups.
This blog is to share our story and to help others feel confident in traveling the world. I hope it will be a place to inspire you to dream big and make it a reality. This site will be filled with our journey, travel tips, great recipes and more.
We are Barefoot Drifter and our goal is to make the most out of the life we have been given and to see the beauty of this world.
Our adventure has just begun! I hope you come along with us as we learn, grow and explore!
