About the author

Kate Vredevoogd grew up under the looming conifers of the Pacific Rainforest with her loving parents and her many animal friends. She started photography in Bellingham, Washington at fifteen years old when she was given her first film camera, and she started writing long before that, shortly after learning the alphabet. These two things are the glue that holds the pieces of her together. She was born in Washington State, but after catching the travel bug she went on an epic road trip across the United States, which eventually led her to a flight to Spain, where she would spend the next portion of her life. She lived in Granada for six years and dedicated her time to perfecting her craft as a lifestyle and travel photographer and writing her first book, From the Same Quiver, which was published in December 2019. She currently lives in Málaga.

A truly amazing story about finding your true self and following your dreams. "From the Same Quiver" really resonated with me as it took me back to the happiest time of my life (traveling around Europe). I had never felt more alive and for the first time I had a sense of belonging. If you are a lover of travel and blending cultures, this is the book for you :)
