Hi, I am Katherine.
I am originally from southern Rhode Island but have lived in beautiful cities such as Chicago, Providence, San Diego, Tokyo, Jacksonville and most recently moved to Rota, Spain. While working in Finance and the nonprofit field, this started as a place for my creative side to live. An outlet for a passion that has only grown. Every place I’ve lived I make sure to make the most of exploring and planning numerous day and weekend trips.
I currently am enjoying daily life in Spain, as well as slowly seeing more of this beautiful country though well thought out weekend excursions.
What is City and See?
City and See was started out of a desire to share my travel insights with friends and family. My love for cities, the ocean (“sea”) and travel became a play on words called City and See. Ever since my first stroll in the city of Chicago when I moved there in 2008, I felt like I finally found my “place”. I loved not having a car, taking the train and being thrown into an off the beaten path neighborhood full of diversity and hidden corners. Growing up, I spent my life only a small drive away from the ocean and was truly spoiled to call Narragansett Bay home.
While living in Japan I was able to explore to my hearts content, as every day brought something new. Moving from Japan to Jacksonville, FL was an adjustment, but I fully embraced my new home and came to love the Bold City. My hope is this space is a place where you can see that traveling does not only have to be international. In your own neighborhood, you can find colors that inspire you, corners that surprise you, and a good cup of coffee. And if you can’t, you can create a sense of awe and travel!
Here you will find travels, city guides, coffee places and more. So go to your favorite aesthetically pleasing coffee shop, and stay awhile 😉
