Welcome to
Kimberly Kephart Travels
Slow solo travel, Hiking and destination guides and Itineraries grounded in real experience.
Hi, I’m Kimberly—welcome.
I’m an American travel writer, Travel Advisor, and slow travel blogger living in Italy, and I’ve spent the past eight years living abroad in Europe and Asia. Through my husband’s work, we’ve called Poland, South Korea, and Italy home, and along the way, I’ve explored more than 40 countries through solo travel, hiking, and culturally immersive experiences.
This blog is for curious, independent travelers who want to travel slower, smarter, and with more intention. Here, you’ll find practical Europe travel guides, solo travel itineraries, and firsthand advice on hiking routes, train travel, and navigating destinations with confidence—especially across Europe.
I write from lived experience, not theory. Every guide is designed to help you plan meaningful trips without the overwhelm, whether you have a long weekend, a week of PTO, or more time to explore.
If you’re drawn to intentional travel and deeper connections with the places you visit, you’re in the right place.
