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
In June, my friends Leanne, Sheri and I traveled to Michigan for a long weekend. We visited Frankenmuth and stayed in Ann Arbor for a few days (read all about what to do in Ann Arbor here). However, the main focus of our trip was to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright Smith house. While we …
I am a Buckeye. Born a Buckeye in Columbus, Ohio, and I’ve spent the majority of my life in Ohio, still living in Columbus. I love when I am traveling and spot a person sporting some Ohio gear and shouting out O-H (which means that person responds with…. I-O. If you answered that correctly you …
If you’ve ever read any of my blog posts before first- thank you! Second- you know I love traveling. Even better when I can combine that with my love of hiking, and major bonus when I add on exploring breweries. And that is what most of my blog posts are about. But this week, I’m …
If you grew up in Ohio you’ve probably heard of Hocking Hills, located about an hour away from Columbus. It’s also likely you’ve visited Hocking Hills, maybe hiking such places as Old Man’s Cave or Ash Cave. But the places I’m going to be talking about today are a bit off the beaten path and …

If you missed the first blog, when I visited Jim Beam, Willett, Barton 1792 distilleries as well as the Heaven High Bourbon Heritage Center, click here to check out that blog post. …
Two days in Memphis- see the highlights of this great city. What to see, where to go, and food and drink suggestions.
While I am a HUGE Beatles fan (probably the largest in my not-so-humble opinion), you can’t visit Memphis, Tennessee without thinking of Elvis Presley. And so when my friend Tommy and I started planning out our spring break 2021 trip to Memphis & Louisville, I knew that visiting Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley was …
The weather has been so nice in Columbus! It finally feels like spring is here. The combination of warm weather and feeling so cooped up during Covid winter has made me extra motivated to get out and hike every weekend this month. I’m happy to share with you my latest hikes and adventures! This adventure …
