  1. Is Dominica Worth Visiting? (Don’t make the mistakes I made!)

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    Is Dominica worth visiting? After six challenging days on the island, my honest answer is: only for a certain kind of traveler. My husband Charlie and I visited Dominica in December 2025, and it was the toughest stop by far on our four-week trip across the Caribbean. We dealt with some of the worst…

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    Yes, you need an eSIM for Croatia — even though it seems like everywhere has wifi! From cafes in Split to apartments in the hills of Dubrovnik, it seems like the wifi card is just about everywhere. But that only gets you so far. You will likely also need data in Croatia when road-tripping along […]…

    Are you ready for a BIG monthly recap? Because it doesn’t get any bigger than this. My dear readers, I visited my 100th country. Botswana.

  4. Best eSIM for Italy

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    Yes, you need an eSIM for Italy — even though Italy is one of the more digitally advanced countries in Europe. Between the narrow medieval streets of Rome and Naples, the winding mountain roads of the Amalfi Coast, and the patchy signal through rural Tuscany and Umbria, connectivity isn’t as…

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    July was a VERY busy month. This month I ricocheted from the city of Prague to the lavender fields of Provence to the green cliffs of Ireland to a concert swelling with thousands of people in bald caps to my favorite island in Italy. Yes. It was such a big month, it was TOO MUCH […] The post AK…

    Remember what it was like to get a SIM card for your phone back in the day?

    Summertime is here — and a busy travel season begins now! June kicked off with a two-week trip to the US, visiting my family in Boston and New York. In that time, I welcomed half of Scotland to Boston for the World Cup, met my favorite internet cat, ate lobster, and did two epic long […] The post…

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    I absolutely love May — it is the best month of the year in Prague, in my opinion, and it’s one of the best months to travel in Europe as well. This month was mostly spent in Prague, with everything that I love about the city — food festivals, hiking, fine dining, and beautiful views […] The post…

  9. How to Attend the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    It’s the last Monday in May on Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire, England, and I’m standing on a frighteningly steep slope, ready to watch 25 daredevils hurl themselves down after a wheel of cheese. This is the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling. “One to be ready!” calls out the master of ceremonies at…

  10. What NOT to Do in Uzbekistan

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    Uzbekistan is a fascinating country, filled with Silk Road history, stunning turquoise mosaics, and some of the best souvenir shopping I’ve ever experienced. I enjoyed my solo trip to Uzbekistan, which I paired with time in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. This was my first trip to Central Asia, and it…

  11. There’s So Much To Love About Madrid

    · adventurouskate.com · Adventurous Kate

    Let me tell you something about Madrid that hit me the moment I arrived: it feels like a city built for city connoisseurs. People who love dining, parks, museums, traveling on public transit. I am very much a city person. My favorite thing about exploring cities is getting to pretend like I’m a…
