Hello / Hola / Sawasdee

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 31 countries so far! I like churros, photography, and going on adventures. Thanks for stopping by!
