Welcome to The Caffeinator Community!

It all started in 2019 as a silly little Instagram account called “Sweet Sips Traveler”. I was living in Dallas, less than a year out of college, feeling lonely and a little lost. I was looking for connection and a sense of community. Coffee shops were the first place I felt something beyond being lost. I felt joy. I felt connection. I felt a sense of belonging. I felt the world slow down a little but. All over a simple cup of coffee.

I’d like to take you back a little further to 2014. I was getting ready to start my first year of college and had to make what felt like the biggest decision of my life, choose my degree (leading to my career). I knew I wanted to help people (kids specifically) and I knew I wanted to make an impact on this earth but at the time I only saw it through law enforcement.

Post college, I spent years trying new jobs, new hobbies, and exploring new interests. It has taken me awhile to get clarity on what I am meant to do but if it weren’t for feeling alone in Dallas and confused on my path, I wouldn’t have found my true passion, coffee.

The Caffeinator Community is a space where we become a voice for the farmers and coffee communities who have no voice. It’s a space where you no longer have to feel alone - you can share your coffee with your community. It’s a space where we learn, grow, and explore the world of coffee together, where we cherish it’s story. The Caffeinator Community is the beginning of change and inspiration for all those willing to listen.

I found my joy, my peace, my passion, my path to help others, through finding special coffee spaces. I hope you feel the same being a part of this community.
