About
Hello! I'm Kate Walton. I'm a 25-year-old from Australia. I write, take photographs and travel whenever I get the chance.
In 2011, I left my job to travel and work overseas. In February and March, I caught trains, buses and hydrofoils across Japan and South Korea. In April, I lived in Nepal for five months to work for a media arts collective called Sattya. In 2012, I was based in Kendari, on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, where I worked for a women's rights NGO. From May 2013, I'll be back in Indonesia - Jakarta this time - working with the country's largest Islamic women's organisation.
I sell prints of my photographs on Society6 here.
Current location: Canberra, Australia
Upcoming travels: Melbourne; Jakarta; Yogyakarta
Visited and/or lived in: Australia; Fiji; Hong Kong; India; Indonesia; Japan; Nepal; Singapore; South Korea; Thailand; United Kingdom; United States; Vanuatu.
Dream travels: Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, West Papua, Flores); East Timor; Cambodia; Laos; Vietnam; Malaysia; India; Mongolia; Burma; Iran; Morocco; Egypt; Uganda; Rwanda; following the Silk Road from Xian (China) to Istanbul (Turkey).
My 'scrapbook' Tumblr can be found here.
You can send me emails at katewalton.au-at-gmail-dot-com. I almost always reply. I'm also on pretty much every social networking site ever, but these are the ones I actually use:
