Who am I?

Hey there!

I’m Katharina, but most people know me as Katy or Kasia. I chose Kasia as the name for my blog because it’s a little more unique and memorable. It’s actually the Polish version of my nickname! My mum is from Poland, so that’s where the name comes from, and I love that it reflects a part of my heritage.

I definitely inherited my love for travel from my parents. Both of them have lived in several different countries and have travelled extensively, both for work and in their personal lives. Ever since I was born, they have taken my brother and me on countless trips around the world, and I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences they gave us. Growing up, travelling wasn’t just something we did during the holidays; it became a way of life.

Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to explore incredible destinations across Europe and North America, and every trip has taught me something new. I’ve learned that the best travel experiences rarely come from following the perfect itinerary. Instead, they come from spontaneous adventures, meaningful conversations with strangers who become friends, getting lost in a new city, or discovering places you never would have found in a guidebook.

That’s exactly why I created this blog.

Here, I want to share not only beautiful destinations but also practical tips that help you travel smarter, save money, and experience places beyond the typical tourist attractions. I’ll tell you about my favorite restaurants, hidden gems, unforgettable hikes, incredible accommodations, and the little tricks I’ve learned that make travelling both more affordable and more memorable.

Whether you’re planning your first big adventure or you’re already a frequent traveller, I hope my experiences inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and create stories of your own.

Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to take you along on my adventures!

Travel Philosophy: Embrace the Journey of Discovery

Travel isn’t just about reaching a destination; it’s about the experiences that unfold along the way. My philosophy is simple: embrace spontaneity, seek connections, and savor every moment. Whether it’s chatting with a local over a cup of coffee or getting lost in the charming streets of a new city, these encounters shape our adventures. I believe that every trip has the potential to teach us something new, to inspire us to step outside our comfort zones, and to challenge our perspectives. Sharing these experiences, along with practical insights and hidden treasures, is what drives me to write. I hope my stories motivate you to pack your bags and embark on your own journey, expanding your horizons and finding joy in the journey as much as the destination. Let’s explore together!
