Learn more about Kate Johnson Kate Johnson Kate Johnson is a content creator and events manager who is always full of beans! Originally from England, she has lived and worked long-term in 5 different countries and is passionate about helping others adjust to the big move abroad. After graduating with a BA in English from Bournemouth University, Kate built a career in event management and regularly executed large-scale trade shows, weddings and corporate conferences from start to finish. In 2017, she went backpacking solo around South-East Asia and met a dashing Canadian… Cue an unexpected move across the world: From a crowded English city to a new lake life in rural Ontario! Kate quickly realized that building a new life in Canada is a constant rollercoaster of ups and downs. Throw in a brutal Canadian winter season, and you can start to feel isolated and overwhelmed. She decided to use her event management experience to launch a networking event and 30-booth trade show ‘Xpat Xpo’ for Toronto’s international newcomers. After the pandemic announcement and shift towards a more virtual world, Kate has since launched The Newcomer Collective: A digital home where internationals can listen to each other’s honest real-life stories through weekly podcast episodes, connect at monthly social events and learn how to create a Canadian life that they love one ‘TimBit’ at a time.
