Starting out, Believing Big

Do you ever ask yourself this question when you awake?

If you only had a year left to do the things on your lists, would you be satisfied with what you’re spending your time on today?


This article, How to Get a lot Done-7 tips to Achieve More, I read today, it made me what to tell you about my new business idea. 

As most of you know, I am an avid traveler to Florence.  I know a lot of places to eat, to past the time, to have a nice glass of red, and I have put myself to good use being exposed on Venere.  I have received so many emails from people who have read my articles and want to know what they can do in Florence on their vacation.  Although I love to connect people with my friends, ristoranti, and pubs, these things take time for me to put together.  Thus was born:


Florence by Katerina
I will create an itinerary of things you are interested in doing in Florence.  If you are here a day, 2, or 5, and need a recommendation for a great evening out, or you are backpacking through Florence for a night and you want a nice cold beer, I can point you in the direction of a superb watering hole.  Solo-travelers that need a place perhaps to sit and read for a few hours, I know a great garden that has benches and very few people.  I am moving at a slow pace as you can tell, but I hope to recruit a lot more people to use me for a moving, authentic experience in Florence.  If you know anyone heading to Florence and they need some assistance in activities to do, places to eat, piazze to venture through, please spread the word, Katerina is your gal!
 
Would love to hear your feedback on my site and my idea....please put your comments(nice, please) below. 

Thanks for all of you who pushed me to do this!!  I have HIGHHHHHH HOPPPPES!  Love you MOM AND DAD!

Thus another chapter for Katerina begins....where will this land her....keep watching. 

a presto!

    Way to go Katerina! I wish we had more time in Florence so you could show us the city, but this time all we'll do in Florence is to change trains. Guess I'll see you in Siena instead, right?

    great idea Katerina! Florence has many tourist traps too... so it's always a good idea to get advice from people who know and have been there. Good luck!
