Katherine Watt has lived and worked in many countries around the world but it has been Paris that has captured her heart! So four years ago she made the leap to resign from her job and move to France. Where to start with a leap like this?!?! That's what I wanted to find out!
Katherine started by drawing a line in the sand with the end date for her job. She planned three years ahead and told her boss she would be resigning. Katherine had stayed in Montmartre and even in the apartment she is in now during the period before she moved permanently.
During lockdown, Katherine loved being in the Montmartre area where she found a little community in her 1km zone. Being surrounded by the beauty of Montmartre was food for her soul during that tough time when travel and connecting face-to-face with family was not possible.
Moving to a new country across the world is not without its challenges. In this chat I heard about how Katherine has formed beautiful friendships with neighbours and regulars to her fave jazz clubs and local cafés. We hear all about her Paris faves as well as a bit about her book "Ninon and Me at the Grand Comptoir", her cooking and now painting experiences too.
I found talking to Katherine quite inspirational. It helped remind me that there is no time limit on finding yourself. No limits on who you can "be" through life and no limit to finding who you truly are. Katherine's more Parisian way of thinking has made her realise there can be a different way to view the world.
