Thanks for being here and taking a moment to join me on this adventure.
I'm Karen Lee, the face behind More Legs Room, and I've got a story to tell – one that's been two decades in the making.
This journey started as a tiny seed in my heart over 20 years ago, but fear and doubt held me back. I never mustered the courage to let it grow. Then, one day about a year ago, fueled by caffeine, a burst of inspiration and no cohesive plan in mind at all, I had a revelation:
"Why not me?" I thought.
"So many others have done it, why not me?" I pondered.
"I've been my own worst enemy all of these years."
"My age? It's not a weakness; it's my ultimate strength."
"Yes, I can do this!"
These thoughts raced through my mind like a caffeine fueled drumbeat, and I knew it was time to take action. The caffeine sealed the deal!
But the real catalyst came a few months prior during an epic girls' trip to Iceland – an adventure that forever changed my ❤️ . Amidst glaciers, rain, and relentless winds, one phrase stuck between all of us: More Legs Room.
You see, More Legs Room might not sound to you like the most obvious, interesting or strategic name for a travel blog , nor the most optimized handle for social media accounts, but it's a name that carries profound significance for me. More Legs Room was a term coined during those adventurous days in Iceland.
Just imagine a group of 9 ladies squeezed all together in a van for 10 days. More Legs Room meant the middle row of our three row seat van.
The girls seated there were the fortunate ones, relishing in their cozy and comfortable journey through Iceland. Meanwhile, those in the uncomfortable third row remained the most joyful, with the driver and me (copilot) at the helm.
My focus was most of the time on navigating the challenging roads, leaving the More Legs Room girls to keep everyone entertained and informed.
More Legs Room represents so many things. It represents joy, hope, courage, and, above all, unwavering faith in my dreams. It has taken me 2 decades to gather the courage to do it. It has taken me a year to be able to hit the LIVE button on this website.
My journey was not without its fair share of challenges – a mix of ignorance, poor decisions, procrastination, a lack of focus, social media exhaustion, and a ton of real life events all conspired making it impossible for me to accomplish this earlier.
It sometimes felt like it was never going to happen. There were moments when I questioned if this was the right path, especially when I saw others thriving in their businesses and social media. I even contemplated abandoning this project, feeling that I didn't deserve to pursue it.
But life had other plans. The person I love most in this world fought the greatest battle for her life and that changed my perspective entirely. She fought valiantly and emerged victorious, making me realize that I couldn't afford to let fear control me any longer. I didn't want to live with regrets.
So, after a couple of months, I came back from PR where I was helping my mom recover her health. Feeling exhausted, stressed and more than anything … totally lost. I took a week-long trip to the mountains. There, amidst the peace of nature and some soul searching, everything began to fall back into place. I reconnected with nature, with God, my husband and Myself.
And here we are today, a few months after that trip to the mountains, oficially hitting the "LIVE" button on More Legs Room!
