Kathryn Dickson standing on the roof of her Jeep In Front of Schitt's Creek Hotel SetNow that we have gotten all that out of the way, hey, I’m Kathryn, thanks for being here. It’s nice to connect with you! I’ve been active in this space of internet property since 2017 and I’ve been a published writer since 2019.

I’ve had itchy feet ever since I was a teenager. You see, my parents took me on summer road trips every year across Canada and because of that, I have been hooked on the notion of always being on the move. Now, as a Toronto-based mother, my children are embodying the desire to see the world as well. Seriously, my daughter asked to go to Cannes for her 10th birthday

Today, I am a family travel expert that has utilized planes, trains and automobiles with my two children numerous times yearly to both national and international destinations.

My knowledge can hopefully inspire you to realize the dream of travel either solo or with your kids.

My travels have taken me to South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Portugal, Spain, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Switzerland, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Honduras, Mexico, Cayman Islands, St. Thomas, Cuba, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, all over the United States and coast to coast of Canada. I’m sure I’m forgetting a destination or two, but please excuse me if I’ve forgotten a few things here and there, I am over 40 now and suffer from Mom-Brain.

My daughter, Miss M who is almost 12, is an intelligent, voracious reader and talented artist. My son, Little Man, is 7, full of energy and I think he will be the captain of the Canadian rugby team one day. He is a wicked tackler, takes you right out at the knees.

The name KathrynAnywhere came about close to twenty years ago. About to embark on one of my first international travels, my mother wanted to know how to get in touch with me, so I set up an email account for my parents to contact me as I travelled overseas, “Kathryn” for my name and “Anywhere” as in they could reach me anywhere I went. Thus my Mom and I branded me before that was even a thing.

I’ve earned a strong reputation for my work in television. For many years I have worked as a documentary and reality TV editor and post-production supervisor. I have been nominated for Canadian Screen Awards, (previously the Gemini Awards), Canadian Cinema Editor Awards and I also direct too. Some of my best-known series work is Income Property (HGTV/DIY), Hockey Wives (W Network), Canadian Pickers (History) and Descending (OLN).

I’m a proud co-founder of the Toronto Bloggers Collective and The Blogger Collective. Often found behind the scenes figuring out how to make everything run smoothly or encouraging other local content creators to support each other.

WORK WITH ME

Let’s connect to further discuss my television career, my travels, adventures, blogging, media coverage or why my hair is pink one month and not the next. I can help you with original editorial and photographic placement in local media outlets. If you can’t cross that frozen waterfall and need someone who can for content creation, let’s have a conversation.
I’m happy to thoroughly explore your destination and create a professionally written, SEO-optimized article, complete with social media coverage for a long-term advertising solution. Reviews of apparel, gear and equipment are also my bag. I’m also able to pitch stories and videos to a variety of different print and digital media outlets. Feel free to email me via my contact page!
