Take a Wander with Shebs

Dream career change | Katherine Parker-Magyar

Katherine spoke about how she started off her writing career and how she became successful within a couple of years.

I discussed where her initial love for travel started with Katherine, and I spoke to her about some of her transformative travel experiences.

Katherine used to be based in New York but moved across to Wyoming during the lockdown. She does state it was temporary. Even though she couldn't travel internationally after March 2020, Katherine travelled across the State on road trips.

She spoke to me about how her life was completely different before she started writing about travel. She worked in advertising and knew it wasn't a career path she wanted to continue in. Katherine told me that she started off being a high school reporter, which is where her passion for journalism came from.

Katherine talked to me about how you can start writing about anything and everything, whether about fashion, politics etc. and then eventually fall into a topic you want to write about. It's about building that writing portfolio in her eyes.

Katherine also discussed with me the need to write objectively as well. She explained that many travel blogs are too subjective, and many bloggers need to start thinking about writing objectively as they can influence people worldwide. She clarifies that there isn't much policing in the blogging industry, leading to one-sided views.

Katherine has had her work published in major publications such as Forbes and Tripsavvy. When it comes to travelling, she has been to all four corners of the world. It has been non-stop for the last few years for her. Katherine plans to travel more when the world opens up again.

When she isn't writing or travelling, Katherine loves to socialise with her friends and family. Katherine also loves to read a good book.

I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Katherine. The time flew by, and I reckon I could have spoken to her all day about her life and career.

I look forward to seeing what else Katherine accomplishes in the near future.
