Cathie Arquilla is a travel writer and fashion stylist exploring the intersection of style, culture, and place. A longtime contributor to GoNOMAD, Cathie brings a unique perspective to travel journalism: she experiences destinations through their textiles, craftsmanship, fashion traditions, and aesthetic identity. Cathie has traveled extensively throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States, reporting on everything from artisan workshops in Italy to boutique hotels, wellness retreats, and design‑forward travel experiences. Her stories are grounded in first‑hand exploration, expert interviews, and a stylist’s trained eye for detail. In addition to her travel writing, her background in fashion gives her a deep understanding of how design reflects culture — a theme that runs through much of her work. Cathie’s writing has appeared in lifestyle publications, travel websites and fashion platforms. She is passionate about helping travelers see destinations not just as places to visit, but as living expressions of history, craft, and creativity. visit her website. visit her website.
