A Word from Kathy Holcombe
I love taking people along on my adventures in the wilderness through my writing, images, and videos.
My husband, daughter and I sold our house in 2014 to live in a van and explore the world. Ten years later our love of travel has taken us to 26 countries and counting, and we love to share our experiences with others.
My personal interests include Self-powered Adventure Travel, Sea Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Backpacking, Guitar, and sharing stories around the campfire with my friends.
