Kathryn believes in the power of stories to inspire and connect people and that every destination has a story to tell. She welcomes opportunities to collaborate and is keen to share her experiences, whether it’s through her writing, photography, or sharing her experiences on television and in the media. Please see her Work With Me page for more information.
Hi, I’m Kathryn.
Award-winning television editor.
Travel writer.
Professional storyteller.
Trail seeker.
Road trip enthusiast.
Waterfall chaser.
Jeep-driving adventurer.
Single mom raising two earth-steward explorers.
Rescue dog sidekick enthusiast.
Happiest somewhere without cell service.
I believe the best stories begin where the pavement ends.
Whether that’s hiking to a lookout, paddling across a quiet lake, exploring a tiny town you’ve never heard of, or introducing my kids to another corner of Canada, I’m always chasing experiences worth remembering—and then helping you plan them yourself.
Why KathrynAnywhere Exists
People don’t need another list of things to do. They need someone they trust.
Someone who’s actually hiked the trail, driven the road, stayed in the cabin, walked through the museum, ordered the weird thing on the menu, made the mistakes, found the shortcuts.
That’s why KathrynAnywhere exists.
Every destination featured here has been personally experienced, photographed and written by Kathryn, helping readers confidently plan adventures throughout Ontario, Canada and beyond.
Kathryn believes travel isn’t about checking destinations off a bucket list. It’s about slowing down, getting outside, meeting the people who call a place home, and returning with stories you’ll still be telling years later.
Unleashing the Explorer Within
Kathryn’s travel narrative began in her teens, inspired by family road trips across Canada. Today, while based in Toronto, she has expanded her horizons, venturing solo to remote and less-travelled destinations around the globe. Her travels span continents, from the vibrant cultures of South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana to the historic landscapes of Europe and the untamed beauty of North America. Each journey is a testament to her belief in exploring the unexplored and discovering the hidden gems of each destination.
Kathryn’s travel adventures are as much about exploring new landscapes as they are about immersing herself in the local beverage culture. Her journey has taken her from sampling homegrown craft beers in remote Canadian towns to savouring fine wines in the rolling vineyards of Europe. Kathryn’s explorations extend beyond the typical tourist paths, delving into the art and science of brewing, winemaking, and distillation.
A Guide for the Off-Path Traveler
Kathryn’s expertise isn’t just in travelling to exotic locales; it’s about immersing herself in each experience. Whether traversing rugged terrains in her Jeep Wrangler, diving into the depths as a certified PADI diver, or chasing waterfalls, her adventures inspire those looking to step out of their comfort zones. Her site is not just a travel log but a resource for like-minded individuals seeking guidance and inspiration for their own off-the-beaten-path adventures.
As a connoisseur of fine drinks, Kathryn offers a unique perspective on her travel experiences. Her website not only features adventurous travel tales but also includes detailed reviews and stories about craft breweries, quaint wineries, and small-batch distilleries.
Beyond Travel: A Glimpse into Kathryn’s World
Kathryn brings a unique perspective to the travel world, combining her love for adventure with her expertise in television and writing. Her background in documentary and reality TV editing and her contributions to various media outlets add a rich layer of storytelling to her travel experiences. She vividly portrays her adventures through her writing and photography, providing practical tips and insights for solo and adult travellers.
A mom of a 15-year-old daughter (Miss M) and an eleven-year-old son (Z Man), Kathryn endeavours to raise the next generation of responsible explorers and travellers. Once upon a time, she travelled with her kids. Now they travel with her and take in the experiences that you can only find off the beaten path.
Kathryn is a proud co-founder of the Toronto Bloggers Collective and The Blogger Collective. She is often found behind the scenes, figuring out how to make everything run smoothly or encouraging other local content creators to support each other.

If you’ve read this far, I’d like to thank my ex-husband for constantly referring to my blog as a “failed travel blog”.
Imagine calling it a ‘failed blog’ while I invoice tourism boards between post-production gigs. Bold.
I work on my blog, creating content and writing for tourism destination organizations and other suppliers, in the evenings, on weekends, and between show contracts. As a single mom, I never stop hustling and working, and I hope my children grow up with the same strong work ethic I have.
Also, I am pleased to announce that I took 2nd place in May 2026 with Travel Media Association of Canada in the category of TMAC Host Destination Story – Learning the Land, Indigenous Teachings at kâniyâsihk Culture Camps – please click the title to read it!.
This story would never have been told without Tourism Saskatchewan, Jodi Holliday, ᑳᓂᔮᓯᕁ kâniyâsihk Culture Camps, the incredible teachings and experience and the people who gave their time.
