Kate Van Berkum

I'm most passionate about seeking out the hidden gems and more authentic experiences in any new place, combined with a few indulgences. It's all about finding the balance between experiencing those note-worthy checklist items while still leaving room for life to unfold naturally along the way. My favorite places to stay tend to be within walking distance of a lively or historic neighborhood where I can feel like a local while still having a comfortable and quiet hideaway to recuperate between daily adventures. I try to immerse myself into the pace of a local community as much as possible and find that when I keep an open mind, the most wonderful experiences tend to present themselves.
