A Little About Me
Hey there,
I’m Kate – part travel info nerd, part history buff wannabe, and full-time curiosity engine behind Curious Jetsetter.
I’ve lived in five countries, traveled a bit, and realized something big: I enjoy a place way more when I know the story behind it. Not in a “here’s a 300 page history lesson” way, but rather with sprinkles of context that makes you go, “Really? Wow”
That’s what this website is all about! Hidden gems and iconic sights with an interesting tidbit of info, and just enough background to inspire you to pack your bags and go find out the rest of the story from a local guide!
If you like your travel advice with a side of intrigue (and maybe a few goosebumps), you’re in the right place. Let’s go be curious.
