My approach to travel? Immersive, meaningful, and a little bold.
Raised in Nashville, Tennessee, I spent my childhood exploring nearly all 50 US states with my family. Those adventures sparked a lifelong curiosity and appreciation for shared memories. Since then, I’ve explored more than 20 countries (and counting) and recently made the UK my home.
I’ve experienced firsthand the power of expertly guided, private journeys. From horse riding across Kenya’s sweeping safari plains and sailing along the Nile in Egypt, to skydiving over breathtaking national parks and spotting a grizzly bear by helicopter above an Alaskan glacier, each adventure was thoughtfully designed and profoundly meaningful.
As a Global Travel Advisor at Audley, I encourage our clients to be bold, to step beyond their comfort zones, and create personal, once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Q&A with Catie
What’s your most vivid travel moment?
A private horse riding safari in Kenya felt like a dream. Expert guides ensured I was safe and at ease as we galloped alongside zebras and gazelles through the Chyulu Hills. In the distance, beneath a lone tree, I spotted my husband and our guide Jackson waving me over. As I approached, I discovered the most beautiful surprise: an elegantly set table for a romantic, hot breakfast. Truly one of the most magical moments of my life.
Your best piece of travel advice?
If there’s a top experience or destination on your list, make it a priority. The 'right' time doesn't always come. Sometimes you have to create it.
Where would you love to travel next?
Japan. I picture myself sipping a matcha, indulging in delicious sushi, discovering unique wildlife, and wandering through serene gardens with my husband.
