About

Hi, I’m Patty – welcome to Polka-Vita.

Polka-Vita is my little corner of the internet for documenting life as I live it: the places I go, the things I try, the goals I’m working towards and all the little moments somewhere in between.

Travel has always been a big part of my life. Sometimes that means walking across northern Spain with everything I need on my back, sometimes it’s discovering somewhere new on a short work layover, and sometimes it’s simply making the most of an afternoon closer to home.

But Polka-Vita isn’t just a travel blog.

You’ll also find pieces about fitness, solo dates, beauty, everyday life and whatever else I happen to be exploring at the time. I’ve never been particularly interested in fitting everything neatly into one box, and I don’t think this blog needs to either.

More than anything, I want Polka-Vita to be an honest record of a life that’s still very much in progress – trying new things, going after big goals, changing my mind, figuring things out and hopefully collecting some good stories along the way.

Thanks for being here, I hope you find something that makes you want to stick around.

I’m Patty!

Welcome to Polka-Vita – my little corner of the internet for travel, adventure and figuring life out along the way.

Here you’ll find stories from the road, honest reflections, everyday inspiration and the occasional big adventure – from long walks across Spain to spontaneous city breaks to the smaller moments that make life more interesting.

There’ll be plenty of lifestyle too, with fitness, beauty and style thrown into the mix – sharing the things I’m loving, the challenges I set myself and the experiences that are shaping me along the way.

Consider this a collection of places I’ve been, things I’ve learnt and the life I’m creating as I go.
