Mini bio
How it started.
Katherine built Explore Ontario as a creative outlet in 2018 while working in healthcare and writing day trip stories for blogTO. She wanted a project with full creative control, and it eventually became her full-time career.
Close to home.
Her work connects people with Ontario parks, small towns, attractions and places to stay. In 2026 she released a Rexby guide covering 100 bucket list places, with three itineraries spanning the province.
Behind the posts.
In her 2026 Toronto Guardian interview, she said she handles the photography, video, writing, design and community management herself. She credited her mother with inspiring her love of local travel and history.
