Life before Swoop
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and raised in a family that is deeply passionate about travel, nature, palaeontology, camping and Land Rover Defenders, Kate spent her upbringing, spending every possible moment in the surrounding African bushveld.
After graduating from college, Kate went into the world of PR and marketing and then, later down the line, was drawn into the African luxury tourism industry where she discovered her passion for travel reservations and customer support.
Having been bit by the travel bug, she travelled through Africa extensively and further abroad overseas, on a mission to see as many countries as possible.

Why I love travelling
The most important things to me in life are my partner, my family, my friends, my dog and travel. The reason I love travelling so much is that in the seriousness of everyday life, we get so caught up in our day-to-day responsibilities and worries that we forget what it feels like to be a child – to be free of any worry, to be content, to be full of glee, and filled with awe and wonder when seeing or experiencing new things for the first time.
Travel is one of the most remarkable and addictive experiences I have personally ever gone through. This is why it's firmly planted on my list of the most important things in my life, and also why I strongly feel it is vital that everyone should travel as much as possible in their own lives. Life goes by in a flash – make sure you cram it with as much wonder and awe as you can!
