About me

A little bit about the writer:


Oi! I'm Katherine

Welcome to Layover Journals, where I share my high-flying adventures and behind-the-scenes stories as a former Emirates flight attendant. I was born and raised in Brazil, but the skies—and a move to America—called my name. Three years after landing stateside, I joined Emirates, where I spent two fun years traveling the world, making friends in every time zone, and gathering more stories than my carry-on could hold!

Now, I’m grounded in a new adventure, diving into the world of digital media. While I may not be in the skies anymore, my passion for exploring new cultures, places, and perspectives hasn’t faded. Layover Journals has become my way to keep that spirit alive—to relive those high-flying days, share the unforgettable moments from my time in the air, and continue connecting with friends, family, and fellow wanderlusters around the world. Through stories, photos, and reflections, I’m inviting you to journey with me from bustling layovers in far-off cities to quiet moments in hidden gems. Whether you’re here for travel inspiration, a peek into the life of a flight attendant, or just to satisfy your curiosity, I hope this space brings you a bit of the wonder and excitement I felt up there. So, fasten your seatbelt, prepare for takeoff, and get ready, porque tem muita história pra contar!
