Welcome! My on-line name is Trekcapri, but my real name is Kathy and I created this Website as a personal hobby and a way to journal my travel experiences (including photos/videos) and all that I have learned.
“Don’t tell me Sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon.” ~ unknown author
This website has my travel tips which I have learned from others and from my own personal experiences, my trip photos and videos and my trip planning posts and random travel thoughts. You can navigate using the buttons at the top, the SiteMap button and/or by using the sidebar. I would recommend checking out my favorite Travel Websites and my Favorite Blogs, because they have a wealth of information. Much more than I do.
The one Travel Website that is the most responsible for helping me in all of my travels and what I have learned so far is Slow Talk. I am so very grateful to Pauline Kenny, Founder of Slow Travel and Slow Talk and owner of a wonderful Travel Website called Slow Europe for teaching me to slow down my travel style so I can have a deeper experience in the places that I’m visiting. It has really changed my life. Thank you so much Pauline. Many thanks also to the entire Slow Talk Community and to all my special blogging friends for being such great teachers and a wonderful source for inspiration.
I hope that you find my website useful or at least entertaining. 
I hope that it inspires you in some small way to experience and see this wonderful world that we live in through your own eyes!
Meanwhile please feel free to visit my Trekcapri Blog.
