Answers from Kate
If you could choose, what city would you most like to live/work in? Why?
I just spent some time in Rome...I have never visited a more vibrant and interesting city. I loved everything about it from the people, to the history to the food (of course) and most of all the deep sense of happiness people exude in Italy! I would love to live there and soak up that energy!
