About Kate
For nearly two decades, I have contributed to over 70 titles for Lonely Planet. My many exploits for LP include hiking in the Bolivian highlands, exploring the jungles and Mayan ruins of Mexico and ferry hopping between Greek islands. I have also driven solo (several times) around South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini. My love of Portuguese custard tarts (and any local pastry) explains my packing staple: elasticized pants. I enjoy chatting, dancing and eating my way through cultures. My bylines appear in Sydney Morning Herald and The Age (Australia) along with airline magazines, National Geographic Traveller UK and BBC.com. See my work at katearmstrongtravelwriter.com
