Hello! My name is Kate and I love to travel and share tips with others. I am also a full time teacher at a public elementary school in Wisconsin. I earned my Master's degree in Elementary Special Education in 2007. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Middle level Education, with a minor in English in 2002. I am a mom to our amazing and energetic daughter, and my easy-going husband and I created our family through adoption. We also have a small, food obsessed dog who we rescued in 2014.  I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s busy world; your personality, your sense of humor, and most importantly, your heart. All of these elements, and my passion for travel and food, brought me to start Kate's Great Adventures. To see what I’ve been up to, browse my site, learn about my passions, and explore what excites and interests you as well.
