Language learning & Travel

Hi, I’m Kathryn!
Born and raised in Los Angeles, currently living in Dallas. When I’m not listening to a podcast in Japanese or reading a book in Spanish, I’m making plans for my next budget trip.





This 2025, I’m here to share with you the caramel-dipped fruits of my labor, i.e. over a dozen awesome fall activity ideas for families – or 21+ singles – to put to the test this season.Â
This May, I took my FIRST international trip (since I was nine years old, anyway), and it taught me so much about what (and what not!) to pack. I made some good decisions, plenty of mistakes, and I want to share everything so we can all learn from it!
I spent a week in Greece in May 2025, crisscrossing the Athens metroplex and Naxos. While all the restaurants I stopped at were pretty good, some of them had an extra-special something that set them apart from the crowd.
In a nutshell, you're tired of content made for learners, but you suck at understanding content made for native speakers.
