Hi everyone! I’m Katie from Connecticut (USA), and I’ve been a Local Guide for a while but I’m just starting to explore the Connect community.**

I love writing honest, thoughtful reviews and sharing photos that help people discover the magic in everyday places—whether it’s a cozy café, a quiet hiking trail, or a small business doing something special. I’m currently a Level 7 Local Guide and I enjoy contributing when I can, especially when I know it might make someone else’s experience easier or more joyful.

Outside of Local Guides, I’m a hairstylist, a big fan of nature walks (I participate in a yearly hiking challenge!), and a lifelong book lover.

I’m looking forward to learning more about this community and seeing what other Local Guides are sharing
