I hope you all had a bang-up beginning to 2012! The New Year has barely begun, and I have already seen so many ads with statements like, “Look as good as a model in less than a month.” This started me thinking about New Year’s resolutions. I don’t believe they should involve being “as good as” or “better than” anyone …
I’m sending you all some Seattle holiday cheer! This past year, I’ve traveled a lot for work and really enjoyed meeting everyone who attended my book events. Now I’m enjoying the holidays with family and friends. I hope each of you is loving this festive time of year too!
With the holiday season heating up, parties abound. For many single girls, meeting appealing men is the icing on the cake of a great event. As many of you know, I spent four summers studying in Europe before writing The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men. Many Euro cities are known as party central so my girlfriends and I …
I had a fun Skype interview with Chris Trash for Bookgum. I really enjoyed meeting him. He wrote of The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men, “The Best Book I’ve ever read.” He also wrote, “Disarming. This is the word that best describes Katherine Chloé Cahoon. Spend one minute with Katherine and you immediately want to become a better person. With …
Here are pictures from my book signing for The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men at Nordstrom’s Holiday Shopping Party!

Did they read The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men? Much of what they are saying perfectly fits the tips in my book and the true romantic stories of girls who went abroad! And they work on American men too.
Upon scanning any newspaper in any US city, it’s clear that we live in a hyper-partisan country, but today we pause to join with family and friends—regardless of their beliefs—to be grateful for what we have. There was also partisanship in this land at the first Thanksgiving, but the camaraderie of diverse parties made it possible. The Mayflower Pilgrims who …
While I was in LA, I had the opportunity to speak at UCLA’s Tri Delta. The girls were excited to discuss Europe, and either anticipate or reminisce about their study abroad adventures. I’ve spoken at several universities. Before UCLA, I went to WSU. The girls sent me this adorable card! Jackie, the girl who arranged for my WSU event, sent …
Thank you to everyone who supported me at Bellevue Club’s Holiday Bazaar! I met so many great people—from single girls wanting to read the romantic stories in my book or planning a trip abroad, to parents and grandparents getting The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men as gifts. My book means a lot to me. It’s based on my …

There will be over 100 venders featuring jewelry, purses, clothing, paintings, glasswork, wine, floral arrangements, and—one of …
I just returned from a slew of NYC book events and meetings. I learned that The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men sold out in every Manhattan Barnes & Noble store! One of the managers ordered more copies while I was with him. That’s good because New York is like calling all Europeans. I got to know so many …
Here are pictures from my Meeting European Men book event at Washington State University’s Chi Omega. It benefited Make-A-Wish Foundation, the sorority’s philanthropy. The WSU girls have been able to grant two wishes. They said that it was an amazing experience to see the children’s happiness when they learned that their wishes would come true. The chapter wants to be …
This weekend, I attended a cosmetics trend show. It was a fashion show where models showcased the hottest cosmetic products while wearing the latest looks in clothing and accessories. The event was hosted by Nordstrom, and the theme was “Red Carpet Glamour” because, as the MC explained, “You don’t have to be a celebrity to look like one!” The show …
Lately, people have been asking me about long-distance dating, which made me think of my brother. He and his wife are rock and ice climbers. In addition, she teaches winter Olympic athletes, and he does trade shows for a premiere manufacturer of climbing equipment. They recently returned from Spain where she taught school for several months. He eventually got to …
