I love travel and adventures, and I especially love doing it on a budget. Where am I going next? Here's your chance at Catching Katie
A few weeks back, my March adventure took me only as far as Mansfield Ohio. I have visited Mansfield before and enjoyed such sites as the Kingsfield garden center and riding the carousel in town (read about that trip on this blog post). However, I have never before been to the Ohio State Reformatory Historic …
I’ve been to Nashville, Tennessee a few times. Being just a six hour drive from Columbus, Nashville is a fairly easy road trip for a long weekend adventure. It’s made even easier because Nashville is in Central Standard Time and is therefore an hour behind Cbus. I had an amazing time there recently when I …
I love National Parks, and one of my travel goals is to visit them all. I’ve blogged about many of them (check those out here), including many that I have visited during my travels to Arizona, such as the Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest / Painted Desert. On my recent visit to Phoenix, I …

I’ve been to NYC a few times, though its been a few years. And when I’ve been, I’ve done most of the typical touristy things- Times Square, Rockefeller Center, …

Located in the highlands of Scotland, Fort William is the second largest city in the highlands after Inverness (which I talked about in this previous blog post). Fort William is a great place to stay when visiting Scotland – read on to find out what to do while in the Fort William area. Ben Nevis …
Isle of Skye, located off the Northwest Coast of Scotland, is the largest island in the inner Hebrides archipelago. Unlike many of The other Hebrides islands which require taking a ferry, it is easily accessible to visitors of Scotland by a bridge. I’d heard a lot about the Isle of Skye before my trip- it …
One of my favorite things during my time in Scotland was visiting the northern section of Scotland, and that meant driving the North Coast 500- Scotland’s version of Route 66. This loop, which is actually 516 miles long, goes across 6 regions of Scotland. While we didn’t complete the entire loop, instead opting to visit …

We spend the next two nights in Inverness, and did a lot of exploring around Inverness. Read on to see my recommendations for a short stay in Inverness. About Inverness Aside from …
