A little about me…
Welcome! I’m Kristin — a curious traveler with a soft spot for places that have personality.
I help curious, independent travelers discover the stories, quirks, and characters that make every place worth the trip — with plenty of humor along the way. From ghost towns and neon signs in the American West to cozy pubs and castle ruins abroad, I love exploring the kind of destinations that surprise you, make you smile, and maybe teach you something you didn’t expect.
If you like your adventures served with a little history, a little oddball charm, and a good story — you’re in the right place.
