Welcome to

A hiker walks along a sunlit forest trail surrounded by golden larch trees during peak fall foliage on the way to Croda da Lago in the Dolomites. A large mossy boulder rests beside the path, with vibrant autumn colors and a clear blue sky overhead.

Hi! I’m Kimberly


Welcome to Kimberly Kephart Travels, a blog for travelers who’d rather see one place properly than six places in a hurry.
I’m Kimberly — an American travel writer and Travel Advisor based in Europe. I write for independent travelers, and especially for women traveling solo, who want to slow down, hike more, and build trips that actually feel like their own.
You’ll find firsthand guides to Europe here: hiking routes, solo itineraries, train travel, and the unglamorous logistics that make a trip work. All of it comes from experience, not research.
Start with a guide below — or get to know me first.

My favorite place?

The Dolomites

You’ll find a lot of resources here for hiking in the Dolomites.

The Dolomites are beautiful, that’s for sure but it’s a place that taught me the value of slowing down, listening to your body, and learning how to trust myself.

So you’ll find a lot different blog posts that highlight the regions specialness.
