The Story Behind the Name

While learning Spanish, I chose the name Catalina for myself simply because I loved how it sounded.

Cata Viva = Catalina + Viva.

In Spanish, “Viva” means vitality, being alive, or “long live!” — it represents a state of passion and enthusiasm for life.

I love this word because it carries both a sense of life and joy.

It symbolizes a way of living:

— to love, to create, and to capture through words and music.

That’s why I named this site Cata Viva —

a journey through culture, language, and inspiration.
