So it’s another of those posts where I try to become at peace with London… or something like that. I’ve become tired with the city I’ve been born and bred in, and now I’m tired of being tired of it. Something has got to change, including my repetitious riddles. Travel and destinations aren’t always about …
My parents must be confused. I was a grumpy little whatsit when I was younger on our holidays. And now I keep a travel blog (and pretty obsessive about it). We went on cruises every year since I was 10 years old (until about 18) and my biggest interest for a long time was making …
Cities are like relationships. I meet a place, get some first impressions – like I would a boy. I get to know a place, get some surprises or confirm my thoughts – like I would a boy. And just like I’ve gone and go through highs and lows with my personal relationships with boyfriends past …
Norway’s been a popular one for quite a while now. Probably a little something to do with it being exceptionally beautiful. It’s a place where ominous mountains and fjords meet cute towns and villages to make one frankly irresistable and dreamy destination. As you’ll see from the pictures, the mirror-like reflections and low-hung clouds amazed … Continue reading
It’s less than one month until my west coast Canada/USA trip. Not that I’m counting or anything.

In my recent excitement about going to Iceland in December – where it will undoubtedly be dark, snowy and cold (but you know… in a fun way) – I decided it was time to dig out the photos of when I last went to Iceland. It was in the summer of 2008 – a while … Continue reading
Um… so, Blog Hop. It’s nothing to do with hip hop or the Sugar Hill Gang (sorry – for the irrelevance and the dismal word exchange), but it does have to do with is that good ol’ blogosphere. The idea is to answer questions on your writing habits and in the process get to know … Continue reading
Despite continuously refreshing the page yesterday when it somehow appeared to say ‘Kirst Over The World’, it wouldn’t go away: there I am, in amongst the other 6 shortlisted travel bloggers (and what lovely company to be in!) for the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2014. To say I’m absolutely thrilled is an understatement. A really big … Continue reading
I have a travel announcement (that my headline sort of gives away)! In December, I’m going to Iceland. Yes, I realise that December is 5 months away – but I’ve decided that doesn’t mean I should stop feeling excited. It’s an incredibly unique coutry, and I can’t blimmin’ wait. I’ve been to Iceland before – … Continue reading
