Hi Everyone!

My name is Kate and im the founder of BornWild Escapes.

I started BornWild through my love for unconventional adventures, globetrotting and my passions to help wild animals. I am truly living my dreams through every adventure I create and being able to travel with like-minded people who love the outdoors and nature, is my favourite pastime. I make it my mission to be a voice for the voiceless and being able to live my truth to change the future for wild animals as much as I can.
