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 :)
