FOUNDER

Hi there! My name is Catherine Agopcan or Cat. I grew up in the Philippines and immigrated to the US when I was 9 years old. I've been a Jersey girl ever since. I spent many years working in the IT and adtech industry working with some major companies in New York City to improve products and processes. Earlier this year, I decided to take a break from the 9 to 6 to pursue a few things on my bucket list. One of them was starting this site. I wanted to document and create and this is the result. I've always loved the hands-on approach to learning which is why you'll always find me doing something.

I hope this site inspires you to take some action for yourself, whether that's exploring a new place, trying a new food or doing something to help the planet.  

I'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment AND follow me on social media!

Other Projects

I'm also very passionate about personal finances and educating women about it. I believe that our consumption affects our bottom line in more ways than one. I also believe that retirement doesn't have to wait until we are 65, but when we have the income to do so.
