Kathi Kamleitner – Travel Writer
Born and raised in Vienna, Kathi has been dreaming of a life in the green land of Scotland ever since she was a teenager. In her mid-20s she turned this dream into reality and moved to one of the UK’s most-vegan friendly cities, Glasgow. Always an animal lover and leaning towards a vegetarian diet, it was the warm and ever-present vegan community in Glasgow that brought her to the conclusion to change to a plant-based diet entirely. For her, traveling the world responsibly, living a vegan lifestyle and being a feminist at heart go hand in hand, and inform every aspect of her writing. She shares her vegan adventures around Scotland on her travel blog Watch Me See, offers travel consultation for Scotland and recently launched GlasgowVeganGuide.com, a one stop resource for vegan food and other businesses in Glasgow.
