About Me

Hello there
I am Karthika and I live in Chicago along with the hubby, kids, and a dog. Our family is, as we like to think, fairly active and outgoing. We have been known to make trips and plans at the drop of a hat. But also have been known to spend months researching the "best" "off the beaten path" places to visit and experiences to have along with our families. As an experienced hiker and camper, I LOVE to do both with my kids and pet.

Memorable Jaunts is an adventure travel service company AND an on-location photo studio.

Memorable Jaunts Travel
The travel part of Memorable Jaunts was born out of my love for nature and the great outdoors and my desire to share that enthusiasm with other families by helping them choose the appropriate adventure experience for them. Most of our travel adventures are/can be experienced by anyone and everyone. We do have some activities that are not for the faint of heart....as in, you have to be prepared to be wow'ed and must promise to say "OOHH" and "AHHH" as you get to see and do things you might have not thought possible especially with little children :).

I find that the best experiences happen when I, as a parent, let loose. Have that attitude and it's almost certain you will have a great time no matter where you go and what you do!

Memorable Jaunts would love to help other families plan and experience places and activities outside of the normal. It's not that we don't enjoy a lazy afternoon by the beach, getting a massage in a spa, or visit a great museum. But we, at Memorable Jaunts, are most happy hiking and camping in the great outdoors and seeing black bears, bald eagles, and moose from our campsite.

Memorable Jaunts Photography
The photo studio is my way of expressing the beauty I see around me, either in the places that I visit or in the people that I meet. I love natural light and the outdoors. I love taking pictures. I love photographing families. It is a happy day when I get to do all three at the same time. In 2012, I also started photographing weddings and I have found a fourth love :) - helping couples capture their special day in pictures.

If you want information about one of our travel adventures, want to book a family photoshoot or want us to capture your wedding day, do drop us a note - karthika@memorablejaunts.com - we would love the opportunity of working with you!

Best and thanks for visiting
Karthika...
