Kate on her travels

Join me on my travel adventures and be inspired to live like a local when you travel

Welcome to my travels

ART. FOOD. TRAVEL. My three favourite words in the English language.

My travel blog is designed to inspire you to travel less like a tourist and live more like a local.

Wherever I travel, my foodie enthusiasm and arts background help me uncover the latest goings-on. So eat where any local would, get your culture kicks away from the crowds and travel with a conscience too.

Always planning my next trip, and with friends dotted around the globe, there’s always someone around to help me experience my travels in true local style.

I hope you’ll join me – you can follow my travel blog below, or check me out on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
