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 walks. Let’s get into it! Loving the rooftop life in Harlem! Destinations Visited Prague, Czech Republic Beverly, Gloucester, Swampscott, Lynn, Boston, Brookline, Salem, Revere, Reading, and Lynnfield,…
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 from everywhere. But then we added on six days in England to visit the cheese-rolling, explore Bristol, and amble through the Cotswolds for a few days. Let’s take a look at what I got up to this month! Of course we…
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 the top of the hill. “Two to be steady!” The competitors, laser-focused on the route ahead, steel themselves for the descent. As for me, spectating on the side, my shoes are sinking into loose dirt and…
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 couldn’t have gone any better! Planning your trip to Uzbekistan last-minute? Uzbekistan can get very busy, especially in the spring and summer, so book ahead to avoid disappointment! Best Things to Do…
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 local for a little bit, whether it’s dropping into a local bakery, spending some time reading in a park, or jumping on the metro to check out a new neighborhood. And Madrid is a city-lover’s city — a…
April 2026 was a very exciting travel month indeed. I embarked on a 17-day solo trip to Central Asia, visiting Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan! It was my first time visiting this part of the world, and I had an outstanding time. In fact, this might have been one of the best solo trips I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back and explore more! Let’s take a look at the month. Table of Contents ToggleDestinations VisitedHighlightsChallengesBlog Posts of the MonthMost Popular Post on…
If you’re dreaming of traveling somewhere in 2026 and were dismayed at the price of flights, you’re going to want to read this post. 2026 is an unusual year for flights. With volatile oil pricing and last-minute schedule changes, some flight routes are looking much more expensive than usual. But that’s not the only thing that’s happening. Some flight routes are dropping — even as much as 35%. But of course, it’s often hard to know which flights are dropping because no human has the bandwidth to…
After two quiet months at home in Prague, while living through one of the coldest winters we’ve had in years, it was time for something better. A bit of sunshine. A bit of warmth. And a bit of time in the South of France. Here’s what I got up to in March 2026! Destinations Visited […] The post AK Monthly Recap: March 2026 appeared first on Adventurous Kate.

This month was intended to be a quiet February at home — and for the most part, that was what it was. A nice, low-key period to build my energy reserves before beginning a busy year of travel. But then the best thing happened — Lewis the cat started crawling into my lap. And it […] The post AK Monthly Recap: February 2026 appeared first on Adventurous Kate.
