I’m Catherine Larose — storyteller, traveler, and dweller in possibility.

For years I’ve been collecting stories in cafés, on trains, in airports, and around dinner tables.

Café Girl Chronicles is where I share reflections on connection, friendship, reinvention, and the people we meet along the way. Big moments may change the course of our lives, but it’s often the everyday exchanges—over coffee, conversation, and unexpected encounters—that become the stories we remember.

Those moments can happen anywhere. I’m simply looking for the places where they’re most likely to find me somewhere between life and latte.
