I write a lot about politics here — and even more so on the Adventurous Kate Facebook page. Every single time that I post something remotely political, I get plenty of people saying, “Stick to travel.” Let’s talk about that. Travel is a political act. Every time you cross an international border, every time you […]
No, I will not stop talking about politics on my travel blog. Read More »
Dubrovnik, Croatia, is one of the most magical places in the Mediterranean: a city of ancient walls and orange roofs, a city of Game of Thrones, rocky beaches, and pršut ham carved from the leg and brought to your lips. If you’re visiting Croatia, I recommend spending three days in Dubrovnik to make sure you’re

I have been completely overtaken by my newest project: making over my new Prague apartment! When I arrived in Prague, I was lucky to have an apartment waiting for me — the apartment my boyfriend Charlie has lived in for the past ten years, the apartment for which I’ve been on the lease for more

Italy is a dream destination — and one of the countries that I know best. It is a country that I have lived in, visited dozens of times, and am actually in right now as I write this. (Well, when I started it, at least. Started in Ferrara, finishing up in Prague.) And I’ve eaten

My friends, what an insane summer it’s been. As I careened from Serbia to Croatia to Italy, part of an uncertain six-month process of getting back home to Prague (which I finally did three days ago!!), I was keeping a secret all along. I wasn’t just traveling. Or just blogging. I was spending all day

I always dreamed of spending a summer hopping along the Adriatic. I would touch down in Venice and head to Piran in Slovenia, making my way down the coasts of Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece. Well, I kind of got that. I never dreamed it would be under these circumstances. I am beyond thankful that

When I started a Patreon, it was an incredibly scary time, and yet I was full of hope. I had considered creating a Patreon for more than a year, always in the back of my mind as something that would be cool to do someday. A place where my favorite stories could live behind a

Every now and then, someone asks me if I’ve ever been to South Korea. “Yes, I have,” I tell them. “I spent three weeks in Korea.” “Then why is there so little of it on your blog?” Well. That trip was taken in 2013, in the middle of a yearlong RTW trip. It was sandwiched
