Hellooo, I’m Cat! ⭐️

I’m a Type A- person who LOVES to plan an itinerary but always overpacks. You can trust me with your life to know all booking details but I will probably loose my passport 3 times throughout the trip. And two years ago I decided to take a gap year and travel South America, but the travelling never ended and I’m currently on my 38th country eheh and Indonesia is my favourite one so I’d love to bring you along beautiful rice terraces and amazing surf! 🏄‍♀️

I know how hard it can be to get your group to take a trip trip from plan to reality, and even more how scary solo travel can be - I’m NOT a solo traveller ahahah - and grouptrips are the perfect antidote for both those problems! After leading my first group trip to Iceland 2 months ago, I can’t wait to go further and explore Lombok and Bali with you!! So should we do it for the plot??
