Catherine and I love showing curious people interesting things. Even in the most “discovered” places, we always seem to find something new and exciting simply by digging a little deeper and looking from a different perspective. As an artist, Catherine considers perspective in everything she does. When people tend to look in one direction, you can usually find her looking the opposite way because that’s where the best discoveries will often be found. She enjoys sharing these unique discoveries with our guests and loves creating beautiful art for others to enjoy. Catherine is the artist behind our company. She designed our logo and applies her artistic design and attention to detail to every guest package that goes out our door. Catherine also loves guiding trips in Scotland, she finds the landscape and culture absolutely magical. 

As for me, I worked in the adventure travel industry for 20 years before founding The Cat & The Peacock. During that time, I organized and guided inn-to-inn hiking tours in Europe and the U.S. and worked very closely with tourism organizations around the globe, making some very special contacts and friends along the way. I’ve lived in Europe, have a degree in French and started my own company because I love to travel. I’m passionate about exploration and enjoy sharing fun discoveries with others. I also enjoy blending personal passions like hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding and history with beautiful places around the world. I love the landscapes and culture of Europe (the Alps in particular) and treating guests to a traditional French dinner after a rewarding day on the trail is one of my greatest pleasures in life. 

Please join us! On behalf of Catherine, myself, and our wonderful team, we look forward to planning your next trip and showing you the wonder and magic of undiscovered things.
