Places I've Experienced
Kennedy Travel began as a personal record. Each marker is a city Kate has spent real time in — walking it, eating in it, working in it — and each one shapes the advice you find on this site.
Exact dates, photographs and favourite places are being added as the archive is written up. Nothing here claims a visit that did not happen.
