I’m glad you’re here
I pull together the most useful travel insights and resources, so you can stop Googling and get going.
Because the best kind of travel is:
- Wild, not reckless.
- Prepared, not over planned.
- Curious, not chaotic.
I believe good travel isn’t about showing off. It’s about showing up with curiosity, a little courage, and the right tools to keep you grounded.
And sometimes drinking wine in Croatia. That's me. I'm Cathy.
Why I Built This
Because researching travel shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.
You do a search, and the first page is sponsored content and AI responses. You open sites only to find ads and affiliate-packed listicles. It’s hard to tell what’s trustworthy, what’s outdated, and what’s just trying to sell you something.
I got tired of digging for the good stuff. So I built resources that surface it faster. I find, vet and organize the best content out there, so you don't have to google.
I've traveled full-time for years, and have visited over 60 countries. AI helps me research and organize. It doesn't decide what's worth recommending. I do. Feral Travel is human-curated travel research and insights.

Who I Built This For
If you travel with both a plan and a sense of humour, you’re probably in the right place.
Are you a feral traveler? You might be if you:
• Trust your gut (and your prep)
• See travel as freedom, not performance
• Can roll with detours, delays, and discoveries
• Feel the hesitation and go anyway
It’s the resource I needed. Now it’s yours too.
