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
For years, I’ve been wanting to go to Morocco. I’ve read about it, watched some travel videos, even fantasized about it after watching spy movies (you know the ones- the good guy getting chased by the bad guys in the winding roads of the souks). However, most impactful of all for me- I’ve heard about …
For my September 2023 trip, my friend Sheri and I took a trip to the Laurel Highlands area of Pennsylvania. {If you’re new to Catching Katie- I try to take a road trip or explore a new place to me once a month}. Our true goal of the trip was to visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s …
Earlier this year, my beau and I took a trip to New Mexico to travel around the state and visit as many of its sites as possible. We visited two national parks: White Sands, and Carlsbad Caverns, and also Bandelier National Monument. After spending half a day in Bandolier, we decided to visit the nearby …
During our week-long trip to New Mexico in May, my travel partner David and I visited two National Parks (White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns) and Bandelier National Monument, spending one day at each place. Our trip began in Albuquerque and ended in Sante Fe, which is where we were staying when we visited Bandelier. We …

Over my spring break of 2023 my (boy)friend David and I traveled to New Mexico. It was such an amazing trip! I have never been and I was just amazed at all the natural beauty that exists there. I have been on a quest to see as many National Parks as possible. So I was …
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 …
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, …
