Welcome to Kate's Page!
Welcome Friends, Fellow Passion Seekers and Travel Junkies
Connections are big for me. I have found that since beginning my blog back in 2006, I have been brought to the most AMAZING people in the world through the inter-highway. I have many passions in life. I am planning my big transfer to Florence, Italy this year. This is it! For 6 years now of working on and off here in Chicago and then moving myself to a different part of Florence, I am a British Citizen through my mother who was born in London. In this way I am able to live in the city I fell in love with in 2002. Along the way I have grown to love writing about Florence and anything having to do with Italy. That would make me a Travel writer as well as a Travel Consultant. I operate the site Florence by Katerina(started in June 2008) still working on it very hard. I am TEFL trained teacher and I will start my settlement in Florence as an English Teacher. There is much more about me but this is the basics at this moment. I enjoy hearing from everyone, old and new, and would love to collaborate with some of your wonderful people on this fabulous site!
a presto amici :)

A New Chapter
So begins a New Chapter in the story of Katie Greenaway. I have had some changed happening around me but all is well. I found a job in my city that suits me. I have learned more things about me and how I have grown in the the person I am today. I am grateful for the realization. I credit my dear friends here in Florence that have always wished good things for me and always tell ...Doors Opening--Coming in like a Lion
March has begun in Florence and the weather has been all over the place. One day it is close to 60 degrees, the next 40 degrees and raining. Like last night, I road home in the rain. I was soaked. I really hope by mid-March the weather has evened out.I kind of feel like March as the saying goes: "March comes in like a lion and goes ...
What to say...
I have been runningin giro (around) "font-size: small;">crazy from Livorno to Prato to Florence. I am enjoying the travel here and there, not always. But I feel that I am doing something each day. I see the beautiful Tuscan countryside every day on my ride to Livorno. I haven't been able to visit with many friends which ...Montespertoli and Kelly's B-Day
I am such a lucky person to have grand friends like Kelly and Iacopo. I enjoyed the evening we spent together last night celebrated my cara amica Kelly. I have known her for so long that I feel that we have known each other since birth. Iacopo became a close friend back in 2005, on my excursion to Florence for the summer. Basically I studied and ate everything in sight that summer. And most importantly, I found many grand friends, like Iacopo.The night was planned perfectly since I take the train ...
Doors Opening--Secret Revealed
I have kept you all waiting long enough. All I am going to say, is that I have settled living in Florence very nicely. And as much as you all know that I love challenges and love traveling, this secret will keep me stationed in Florence.The sun was shining so bright yesterday into my kitchen. It made me realize how all my dreams are STILL coming true. Life is a ...

Adrian Petersen said… - Hello Kate, Just a gentle reminder!
"I thought you might like to promote 'Florence by Katerina' by writing an article about the city from your perspective which you could possibly use on your own website? Just an idea, what do you think? No rush..."
Glad to see you made it!
Ciao, Adrian

My Favorte things about Wine
My first sip of Wine was in 2002 when we arrived to study for a semester of exploring and enriching our lives from boring Minnesota to enchanting Florence. Wine has been a big part of my life since first stepping foot in Italy. Now I must have wine where ever I am. For Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner...ok...I am kidding about Breakfast. I guess the way I grew more fond of it was when I was sitting in a wine bar with my friend Tina one weekend in Perugia, we hopped from one wine bar to another and after… Continue

Less is More
Wanted to make an announcement, I have paid off one of my credit cards!!! YIPPPEEEE!!!!
Since doing that I started looking at my life around me. Thinking how happy I truly am with the clothes I still have and not thinking that I need to purchase more. My closet full of clothes tells me, you have enough, Kate. I decided that I am going to clean out my closet and get rid of all the junk that I have kept throughout my years on this earth. From high school memorabilia, old T-shirts I… Continue

Losing is half the battle
I sat there crying on the field wondering what I could have done better. My other teammates have already started the lonely walk back to the locker room. I notice that I am one of 3 players sitting on the field in unbearable pain and anguish over what a horrible game was just played. I felt so strongly about soccer for many years and today I know how it truly feels to lose. To this day I can't remember what the score was or who we played up in Winona, MN, but I will always remember the feeling I… Continue

Be Patient with your Dreams
"You must be patient", Piero Antinori explains about wine making, "And to wait until the wine is good enough, the vines are old enough to produce a good wine".
Exactly.
I must be patient because if I try to force anything, it will go awry. As much as I did push back and forth of living in Florence and not living there, I knew all along that was where I wanted to be. And just like the Marchese Antinori said, I realized how much I am not being a patient person. I know I will be in Florence when… Continue

I rescind all that I said about the EuRail pass. I decided, after strenuous research involving checking the prices on all point-to-point train tickets based on my potential itinerary, that the pass, in fact, will save me money.European train tickets…
