About Me

vineyard in tuscany

Hi! My name is Katie Murray and I currently live in the ‘burbs of NYC. I’m a 23-year-old Marist College grad attempting to navigate the world of adulting… with a lot of help from Easy Mac and dino chicken nuggets. I love traveling (I've been to 20 countries!) but when I'm home you can often catch me cruising through the Dunkin’ drive-thru in my Honda CR-V. I'm a sucker for Swedish fish and if you're not careful, I'll probably drink the whole bottle of Chianti (go red or go home, am I right?). I’m a little overly obsessed with the Medici family history and I’m always prepared for any type of emergency with my bottomless Kate Spade bag.

I recently had the opportunity to work for travel company Bus2alps out of Florence, Italy. I loved helping study abroad students visit all of the amazing places I was fortunate enough to see when I studied in Italy (we make it possible, even on a budget!). So not to say I’m a study abroad expert, but I’m kinda a study abroad expert.

Follow along with me as I make more memories and see even more of the incredible things that the world has to offer. I offer general travel tips, recs for my favorite places, and more.

Hopefully you can relate to the things I talk about, or at the very least, just get a good laugh. So pour a glass of wine and let’s have some fun!

xoxo,

Katie (AKA The Chianti Queen)
