Hi, I’m Cat 👋
I left my corporate job in NYC in 2021 for what I thought would be a one-year round-the-world trip… and I never really went back. A few years later, I’m still traveling solo and writing about it here.
Since then, I’ve visited countries across Asia, Europe, and Central America, learning the hard way which buses not to take, which hostels to avoid, and where to find the best street food.
I started Cat is Out of the Office to help women like you travel solo with more confidence and fewer headaches. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you go — I definitely didn’t.
