Welcome to KathrynAnywhere
KathrynAnywhere is a unique space curated by Kathryn Dickson, a seasoned traveller and award-winning television editor. This platform is dedicated to those who seek adventure beyond conventional paths, particularly focusing on adult and solo travellers who crave unique and immersive experiences. For those looking to explore the world solo or embark on adult adventures, KathrynAnywhere is more than just a travel blog; it’s a companion guiding you through the roads less travelled. This site is a treasure trove for those who cherish adventures and have an affinity for exploring the world of craft beers, distinctive wineries, and artisanal distilleries.
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 a ten-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.
