Kathryn grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. Her dream was to live in New York City. She made that dream come true and had the foresight to look for an international employer there in hopes of having the opportunity to travel abroad. But she got more than she hoped for when she was offered a position in their office in Trieste, Italy. New York is her dream, but how could she refuse an offer like this? She could see all of Europe while there. With only one work contact there to help her transition, she boldly heads off into the unknown. She's looking forward to being able to afford a much nicer place than she can in New York City and even saving money for the future. But in this small town on the border of Slovenia and near Croatia, off the radar of most tourists, she is going to find housing there to have some quirks quite foreign to the United States. But like the song says, if she can make it in New York, she can make it anywhere. She's about to find out.
