Hi friends! My name is Cate and I am 21 years old. I grew up in Montana, a place with big skies, mountains, and lots of room to explore. Now I go to school in Washington, D.C., a busy city filled with lots of people. At school I study Public Health and Dance. Dancing makes me happy, and it helps me tell stories without using words. Studying Public Health, I learn about how people stay healthy and how communities take care of one another.
This spring, I get to travel to Dublin, Ireland to live and take classes. I decided to study abroad because I love learning about new places and meeting new people. Traveling helps me see how people around the world live, learn, and have fun.
While I am in Ireland, I will share pictures, stories, and fun facts with you. I might show you new foods I try, places I visit, and things that surprise me about living somewhere new. Sometimes traveling can feel a little scary, but it is also exciting and full of adventure.
I can’t wait to explore, learn, and share my journey with you. Thanks for coming along with me!
