My first trip to New Zealand was a quick 10-day jaunt with my friends before we moved on to Australia and our five months of studying abroad in Brisbane. Because we had such a short period of time to squeeze in a lot of must-do activities, we had pre-booked all accommodation, major transportation and activities…

I was hoping to be able to feature some photos of the northern lights this week, but unfortunately I didn’t get any! The weather didn’t want to play nice when I was in Porjus, Sweden, and this was the least cloudy night we had (it clouded right back up again about 30 minutes after…
After writing the summary of my travels in 2011 and reading A Dangerous Business’ year by the numbers, I got a bit curious, so I did a bit of adding up and came up with the following stats on how 2011 treated me. Flights: 18 Long haul flights: 9 Miles flown: 59222 (94755.2km) Airports: 9…
My 2011 would not have been considered a very busy travel year for a full-time traveller, but it was a busy travel year for me since I did it all in my allotted leave from a full-time job. That’s yet another upside of living in Australia: it’s legally required that we get 4 weeks of…

Photo of the Week: Lights in the North (But Not the Northern Lights)
I was hoping to be able to feature some photos of the northern lights this week, but unfortunately I didn’t get any! The weather didn’t want to play nice when I was in Porjus, Sweden, and this was the least cloudy night we had (it clouded right back up again about 30 minutes after…

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).
