Kat is originally from Perth, Western Australia. She grew up all over the state, from small towns, to farms, to the city. She spent a lot of time exploring the area with her parents and took countless road trips. In 2005, her dad took her on her first overseas trip, to Egypt, and she was hooked with the travel bug.
She moved to the United Kingdom in 2013 on a UK Ancestry Visa. Once the excitement of landing in the UK died down, she faced the challenges of finding a job and a place to live, making friends, and learning how to live in a new country. Her blog Kat's Gone Global offers tips for those visiting or moving to the UK.
