Melbourne’s quirky beauty

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

Melbourne street art is pretty awesome. I was missing my old home of Melbourne a lot yesterday, so I thought I’d pay a tribute to the joy of walking down a street and stumbling across a mark someone’s left, a little insight into their mind, I like to think. Some is gritty, some elegant, but … Continue reading →

10 tips: Studying abroad

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 3 Comments

Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity – I can’t express that enough. But it is stressful. It’s not just a fun ride, there’s a lot of organisation, paper work, and you might just be on verge of breakdown with a week to go, thinking, “Oh my god, what am I doing??” because you’ve been so … Continue reading →

Oh hey! :)

I’ve decided I’m making a comeback with this blog. And I mean business (but in that fun, not intensely serious kind of way). A lot has happened in the past year. I started this blog to talk about my semester abroad in Melbourne, Australia – well, obviously I’m not there anymore, but it was the … Continue reading →

Where did everyone go?

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

I’m the last international standing. Or at least I will be in about a week. I’m not sure how to feel about it. Saying goodbye to my other internationals and the Aussies has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and the goodbyes aren’t even all over yet. After the departure … Continue reading →

Home from home

YAY. I’ve finished with all university work in Australia. And ultimately until late September. I’m going to have to make some effort over the next few months to ensure my brain doesn’t completely turn to mush. So, there was one massive theme in all of the units I happened to pick out over here in … Continue reading →

Out and about with the Aussies

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

Because I’m bogged down by work, I’m going to write another blog entry. No, that doesn’t make any logical sense, but I can’t resist a little bit of procrastination, and I wanted to share some of the stuff I’ve been up to before I become a hermit. This post will mainly be pictures – wouldn’t … Continue reading →

There’s a lot of love upside down

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

I realised something the other day. Up until now, I still thought of my experience here in Australia as in the beginnings and something I was continuing to get used to. Recently, I’ve been all too aware that this won’t last forever. I think I’m over halfway through my time here (I say ‘I think’, … Continue reading →

What? Australia isn’t always hot?!

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

Melbourne has frozen over. This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s 16 degrees and I haven’t felt this cold in a while. I understand that all you Englishmen/women will hate me a little bit for saying this, and I’m going to go ahead and join you in that. I’ve lost my ability … Continue reading →

Great Ocean Road: waterfalls and beaches galore

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

I suck just a bit at updating my blog. But I figure I’m going to need to apologise a lot for delayed posts, so I’ll just get on with it, shall I? ;) Great Ocean Road. It’s a road. By an ocean. And yep, it’s pretty great. Better than great, it was stunning. I can … Continue reading →

Food and drink is my procrastination

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 2 Comments

Second blog post of the day! ON A ROLL. This one will be a general one. Great Ocean Road blog post will be next, and I’m going to have to summon more enthusiasm for that one, seeing as it was amazing. I’m not sure if you knew, but I’m actually here at a university. Monash … Continue reading →

Hey! Nice to meet you :)

Unknown's avatar

I'm Kirsten, and I started this blog when I lived in Australia in 2012. I'm now frolicking my way around the world, taking in cities and experiences.

Everything to do with adventure, variety in the world and feeling alive can't be a bad thing, right?

I want to inspire you to go out and do the same thing - whether it's explore a new city or something like jump out of a plane! There's a lot of stuff to do out there so let me show you :)
