✨ About Me – Kitty from TravelGlaze

I’m a traveler based in Amsterdam who has been exploring the world since the 1980s. Over time I’ve learned that comfort makes space for another kind of wonder — and that fun doesn’t always have to be fast.

I look at the world with curiosity — but also with an eye for what makes travel easier. A little lighter. A little softer.

That’s why I started TravelGlaze.

🐪 How it started
My first real trip was to Egypt, sometime in the 1980s — back when you had to rely on paper maps and guesswork.
On my very first day, I met a group of seasoned travelers who handed me their well-worn Lonely Planet. It had notes in the margins, dog-eared pages, and coffee stains. That moment stuck with me.
It showed me that travel is something we pass along. We share routes, tips, stories — and it grows from there.
