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
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 …
My Thanksgiving break this year lined up perfectly for when one of my favorite performers, Stromae, was holding TWO concerts at Madison Square Garden in NYC. 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, …
Over the past few years I have found myself taking little road trips to Springfield, Ohio to explore different things in or near the city. And during all those times it finally occurred to me- Springfield has a lot to offer! So if you haven’t explored it before, allow me to present to you some …

I recently spent two weeks driving around Scotland, and oh my goodness, I loved it so much! Towns I visited include Edinburgh, Inverness and Glasgow. I rented a car and drove the North Coast 500, explored the east coast, as well as the Isle of Skye. It’s all been amazing, and you can read my …
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 …
