Travel through the West Country

About Me

Hey there!

I’m Cate and it’s very lovely to meet another person who loves travel!

I’ll be sharing mostly on the southwest region of England: taking you to hidden corners and introducing you to undiscovered places. And if you’ve heard of it before, hopefully I can share something new about it.

A little about me? Well, let’s see…I was born and reared in California. (Although I prefer how my Irish husband would say it: ‘born, bred and buttered.’ Much more fun.) Sunsets, the scent of star jasmine and good food are some of my heart joys. And I absolutely love, love, love visiting and exploring new places. It may have been from living in different countries and both hemispheres over the years…I’ve spent some time in Germany, Canada, Northern Ireland, a wee stint in New Zealand, and then back to the States, the mountains of North Carolina. My most recent move was to England where I live with my husband and 5 precious children. I have only travelled a wee bit of this fair isle, but I think, quite possibly, Britain is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. And I absolutely love photography!

And lastly, my greatest passion? Jesus. He is my favourite and my best. :)

Come and join me on the adventure of living…
