Kate Webster is a world traveller, ocean lover and conservation warrior who is determined to make every moment count for not only herself but the world around her. This has inspired Kate to translate those moments and share them through her storytelling.

A dedicated David Attenborough and Jane Goodall fan, Kate has delved into the world of wildlife and conservation travel to bring awareness.
Under her company Captured Travel Media, Kate creates compelling stories and captures vivid imagery as an Editor across Captured Travel and Where Wild Things Roam (with ROAM magazine and podcast). Keeping the travel trade industry up to date, Kate is a freelance journalist at Travel Monitor. Kate has a column called TravellerKate in Asian Journeys Magazine.
