behind the blog
how it all began…
Skilah started with my curiosity about, well… just about everything. From little everyday moments to big questions, I’m always wondering, exploring, and trying to understand things in a new way. Writing it down felt like the perfect way to keep track of those thoughts, and to share the fun of discovery with others. This blog is where all those random sparks of curiosity come together.
About Me
hey, i’m Carmen
Somewhere in the middle of life, officially an empty nester, and figuring out what adventures come next. I’ve worn many hats over the years: globe-trotting travel advisor, supportive Army wife, and full-time mom. I grew up in Germany, which sparked my love for travel early on, and life has taken me around the world ever since. These days, I’m enjoying the freedom to explore new passions (with a little extra time on my hands now that the kids are grown).
