Travel stories,
with soul

Personal travel stories from places where history, nature and everyday moments turn into memories.

Kateřina, author of the WandersKaty travel blog

Hello, I’m Kateřina. Welcome to WandersKaty!

During the day, I have a responsible job as an officer with the Czech Police. That is exactly why I fell in love with travelling. After work, I close the office door and leave to follow my travel dreams whenever I can. Like most people, I have to make the most of just 30 days of annual leave.

On this blog, I share personal travel stories, practical tips, prices, itineraries and real experiences from around the world — from mountains and deserts to cities that surprised me with their energy.
