Hello!

My name is Katie, and I have been traveling for as long as I can remember.  In more recent years, I've begun traveling around Europe alone and with friends while I've been living and studying abroad. I studied abroad first in 2011 in Aix-en-Provence, France, and it was easily one of the best four months of my life.  I completed my Master's degree at Cardiff University in Cardiff, Wales.  My degree is in European Studies with a focus in Culture and Ideology, and I truly love love learning about and exploring cultures outside of my own.  I live and work in Prague, Czech Republic where I advise study abroad students during their time abroad at a Czech university.  So far, I've traveled to more than 19 different countries outside of the U.S., and over 52 different cities.  Over the last few years, I've really started to get the hang of traveling inexpensively to some really amazing places, many of which are off the beaten "tourist" track. I love finding smaller, more local cities to explore the true, concentrated culture in those places; I equally love visiting major cities to see all of the incredible things the world has to offer! Check out my "Travel Guides" page for my insights into the different places I've visited, and feel free to contact me if you have any further questions about the cities you see listed (or others, as I might still be able to help!).  If you have any other travel-related or study abroad-related questions, please ask!  I absolutely love helping students with their travel and study abroad experiences, and would welcome the opportunity to help you with yours.
