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, 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.

I Have An Actual Webmaster Now!

If you’ve frequented my website in the past you will notice that it was once clunky, was designed weirdly and not functioning in the best way possible. It’s all on the road to becoming a better user experience for YOU – my readers! To facilitate that, I brought on an actual webmaster to get everything working correctly.

Being a one-woman show while trying to keep up with content creation, web administration duties, working my day job, being a good (decent?) parent and having a personal life was all too much. While you shouldn’t mix business with pleasure, I just so happen to be dating a man who was a webmaster in a former life. Since he’s side by side on this ride with me, meet Paul. Paul shares with me a love of adrenaline, camping, whisky and country music and is the reason why I spend so much time in Bruce County (southwestern Ontario).
