Hello / Hola / Sawasdee

thegirlwhogoes Hi, I'm Cathy – a writer, traveler, and digital nomad who is currently living in Alicante, Spain, on the new digital nomad visa. I'm a Midwestern girl, from Kansas City, Missouri, but I've been to 49 states and 34 countries so far! I was also recently diagnosed with celiac disease, which is a whole thing, so you'll find occasional gluten-free mentions here as well. Thanks for stopping by!
