Over Katy's History Travels

I’m a travel writer with a love of history. My work has been published in various places but while I enjoy writing for others, my most meaningful experiences come from personal journeys – those moments when the past is tangible and history comes alive in unexpected ways. These are the stories that stick with me long after I get home. I wanted a place to share these personal history moments – so here it is, Katy’s History Travels.

It was at the⁠ Villa Diodati ⁠ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Diodati]where the first seeds of her novel Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus, were sown when Byron challenged each member of the group to write a ghost story In 2018 the ⁠Martin Bodmer Foundation⁠ [https://fondationbodmer.ch/en/martinbodmer/] in Geneva held a ⁠special exhibition⁠ [https://fondationbodmer.ch/product/frankenstein-cree-des-tenebres-catalogue-de-l-exposition/] to mark the 200th anniversary.
