Katie Cline
Hi, I’m Katie. Thanks for visiting.
I recently moved back to my native New York after spending five and a half years living abroad in the U.K. (where my daughter was born) with my husband and our anxiety-ridden pup, Jack Daniels. London is my happy place, and we were able to live and work there (untethered to corporate visas) thanks to my dual citizenship with Ireland. We now live back in Astoria, Queens, and when I’m not exploring the best borough, you can probably find me at Trout Landing, near Lake George, or Gallant Fox, in Saratoga Springs—two vacation rentals that we own and operate in upstate New York.
I’m the host of the new Hospitality.FM Original podcast, Suite Success: Masters of Hospitality. Every week, I have the honor of interviewing the brightest, most impressive minds in the space—hotel executives, hospitality leaders and industry innovators—in order to uncover the strategies and secrets behind the world’s best brands.
Professionally, I work in public relations, having led (and continuing to lead) global communications for many major organizations around the world.
But this page that you’ve stumbled upon is dedicated to creative pursuits, writing and speaking mostly about second home ownership, short-term rentals (STRs), real estate investing, hotels, hospitality, travel, motherhood, relationships and more.
