195 Postcards

Hi, I'm Katie! I'm an American living in Melbourne. According to the United Nations, there are 195 countries in the world. My goal is to visit every single one.

In 2018 my partner and I relocated from Chicago to Amsterdam so that we could ramp up our travels. In those 6+ years, we visited 48 countries (67 in total) countless times and I journey it all; every restaurant, every historic site, every inside joke.

Now that we're in a new part of the world I'm reflecting on our travels as we prepare for new adventures in this part of the world. To do that, I'm deciphering my 20+ notebooks into this collection of travel itineraries.

Don't expect polished prose or professional critiques; instead, delve into my informal guides, where I candidly share what I loved, what fell short, and where I'd eagerly return – hopefully offering valuable insights for fellow travelers.

So dive in, absorb these pearls of wisdom, and discover some awesome new places. Enjoy!
