So, it’s no surprise that you can now take Game of Thrones walking tours around the medieval old town of this Croatian city.…
It’s the time of year that all bloggers start trotting out their “best of” posts to show off what they’ve been up to during the year. Since 2013 was quite an eventful year for me–one where I quit my job and travelled to 13 countries, only 4 of which I’d visited before–I felt that, of…

The problem with it happening abroad is that it has a tendency to taint the place you were visiting, even if it was a fantastic destination in every other regard. While I certainly like to think that I…
Earlier in the week, I wrote about how a silly mistake — leaving my cabin door unlocked on a sailboat at port — led to my wallet being stolen. Like most regular travelers, I had a backup plan for the event that I was ever robbed while abroad…but it seemed like, for that week in…
I didn’t think twice about doing it. I was just leaving my cabin for a few minutes before I came back to get myself settled for a week of sailing along the Croatian coast. I’d lock up before I went up on deck when we set sail for Hvar. Unfortunately, it was that moment of…
Croatia

How I Offered My Wallet to Croatian Thieves on a Silver Platter
I didn’t think twice about doing it. I was just leaving my cabin for a few minutes before I came back to get myself settled for a week of sailing along the Croatian coast. I’d lock up before I went up on deck when we set sail for Hvar. Unfortunately, it was that moment of…

About Me
I'm Kristin, and I'm one of the clumsiest people you'll ever meet. I've given myself a concussion by falling into a parked car in England and have broken my leg chasing a bus in Arctic Sweden. Regardless, I keep travelling the world in search of my next adventure (and my next photo opportunity).
