Bruges: the prettiest city in Europe?

Bruges: the prettiest city in Europe?

Posted on October 27, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 3 Comments

Mid-October, blue skies, shimmering canals and cobbled streets. I knew I was going to like Bruges from the start. It even had windmills. Windmills. Living in London, I’m used to a bit of a dirty city (I still love you regardless, London). Bruges is sparkling clean to an incredible degree. Everything looks so fresh, even … Continue reading →

Surfing in England: what doesn’t kill you…

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 4 Comments

What? Can you even surf in England? Are you crazy? – What I usually hear. We’ve all got the image in our minds. Blonde tousled hair, tanned, toned (this is man or woman by the way), most probably Californian or Australian. Kelly Slater (minus the hair…), Stephanie Gilmore (my girl crush), Alana Blanchard (the girl … Continue reading →

Up, up and away – travel news

Posted on October 16, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 2 Comments

For a few months now I haven’t had much going on travel-wise. We can blame that on running out of money and graduating from university – and the exhaustion of trying to find a job that comes with it, of course. BUT… there are plans coming together that I’m very excited to do and write … Continue reading →

Snooping in Shoreditch: Street Art

Posted on October 4, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

I say snooping, because I’m probably not cool or “hip” enough to be around here. But this is where I got my internship, so here I am, exploring the streets of Shoreditch whether the trendsetters like it or not! I should note: I actually quite like Shoreditch and have been meaning to go on some … Continue reading →

Rooftop Cities

Posted on September 14, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

It’s no secret that I love rooftop bars – cocktail in hand, looking out to the bright lights of any city is something that will always give me a little chill (out of excitement, but maybe from a breeze too). They’re not even just for drinking (see Bussey Building below). I recently went to two … Continue reading →

Travel porn

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 1 Comment

Like all good porn (maybe? I don’t know), I’m spreading this (again, I’m assuming it spreads). I have distributed pictures of mine with the link to this blog written (rather nicely) on the back around London. It would be nice that if people found them, it would just be something different to their day, a … Continue reading →

A wannabe London tourist

Posted on August 13, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 5 Comments

How many of us really know our home city? Unless you’ve answered, “Yeah, I do, really well” and I’ve stumbled into an awkward situation here, I’ll take the people who answered, “Actually, not that well” and bond in our neglect. You may know some places to go, the general vibes of neighbourhoods, like I do, … Continue reading →

London’s calling (and it’s about to go crazy)

Posted on July 24, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • Leave a comment

Seeing as this is the city I’ll be spending most of my time from now on, it seems a bit cruel to leave it out. It may be my hometown (and one that I’ll damn well proud of being from) but you still find travel excitement and adventure within it. Don’t underestimate the places right … Continue reading →

I wish it could be Paris everyday

Posted on July 12, 2013 by Kirsten (Kirst Over the World) • 1 Comment

An excellent Paris/Christmas song pun, I know. My lovely older sister, Tanya, took me to Paris in December as my 21st birthday present (which is in November) for a weekend. Needless to say, I was over the moon. And thus a lovely weekend of blue skies (for one day), floral rooms, sight-seeing and the most … 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 :)
