Local realtor Kaye Brinkley has moved across the country and has traveled the globe. Here, she shares perspective (and photos) from years of exploration.
What's always in your carry-on?
Lip balm, iPad, chargers for everything, and snacks.
Window or aisle seat?
Window seat, always. Watching a new destination come into view never loses its magic for me.
One travel mistake you’ll never make again?
Overpacking. Nothing will humble you faster than hauling a giant suitcase across cobblestone streets or hefting it up the stairs on a train.
Favorite way to spend a free afternoon in a new city?
Walking with no real agenda, finding a café, people-watching, and just soaking in the energy of the city.
Most memorable “unplanned” moment on a trip?
While dining in Paris, I thought I heard someone mention “Harris Teeter.” Turns out the people beside us were from Raleigh, and we have been friends ever since.
How can someone “explore” locally?
Try a new restaurant, visit the farmers market or museum, take a different route home, or spend time somewhere you normally rush past. You don’t always have to go far to discover something new.
