In a reader survey, more than 312 Adventurous Kate readers indicated that they had traveled to places because they read about them on this site.
The destinations were varied — more than 20 traveled to the island of Koh Lanta in Thailand; more than 10 traveled to Bologna, Italy. Others traveled to Savannah, Georgia; New Orleans; and Nova Scotia, all after reading Kate’s coverage.
More than that, hundreds of Kate’s readers said that while they don’t necessarily choose a destination because of Kate, they always come to her site to read her recommendations. This was especially popular for Paris and New York City.
In short: Adventurous Kate’s readers travel, and they often follow in her footsteps.
Since Kate McCulley started Adventurous Kate in early 2010, it has since become one of the web’s most prominent sites focused on solo and independent travel for women.
Kate’s ultimate goal is to show that solo female travel can be safe, easy, and a lot of fun.
Kate, in my eyes, is a near-perfect travel blogger for three reasons: she is completely 100% honest, without scaremongering; her blog is personal, offering stories and experiences that could never be found in a guide book; her posts are eternally useful with tips and details to help you find the confidence to travel anywhere.
