About
My name is Katie, and I created Beside the Mediterranean as a space to share the photographs I take while traveling to different destinations beside the Mediterranean.
As soon as I turned 18, I began exploring the Mediterranean coast, and I’m still completely in awe of the stunning cities, towns, and villages that line the sea. Whether by the water or in the mountains, the landscapes are truly so beautiful.
I had the chance to spend more time in the region during my studies. Along the way, I was lucky enough to meet my partner and make wonderful friends from the region, who I appreciate and cherish so much. They’ve enriched my life enormously and given me an even deeper connection to life in Mediterranean countries.
One thing I have always loved about the region is the slower pace of life: waking up and going to bed late, taking time to rest, to eat, and to simply enjoy the day. And then, of course, there’s the food.
As a vegan of over twelve years, I’m also passionate about showing that many of the best Mediterranean dishes are naturally plant-based, or can easily be adapted. You’ll definitely see posts here about traveling and eating in the Med as a vegan.
With the huge number of photos I take visiting Mediterranean destinations, it felt natural to create a place to share them, so here we are. As a language graduate, I also try to share some of my content in French and Spanish.
Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy my photos and recommendations. And a special thank you to my loved ones who always support me and are extremely generous with trips and invitations to my favourite destinations.
