If “Hardworking But Fun” was a place, you have arrived! I’m Kacie, a native to New Mexico, but lover of traveling and exploring our amazing world. I grew up in Southern New Mexico, but have had the privilege of living in England and traveling to several different countries and a large number of States in the US. Traveling all over the world has given me a great perspective on people, culture and home. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories of how they choose Las Cruces as their new home, what has made Las Cruces their only home, or why they are packing up and relocating. The mountain air refreshes my soul, and the beach helps ground me. My husband and I love to take our 4 kids to different places every year so they can experience different cultures and experiences. We love gardening, the outdoors, camping, hiking, and hanging out with each other!
