Kirstie started her career as a journalist covering hard news, but always had a yearning to travel. Working for Tourism New Zealand in her 20s only fed her passion as she flew over, and was dropped in, many remote parts of New Zealand. After trekking around Europe, roller blading in California and devouring dumplings in Asia, her bucket list only continues to grow by the day and she hopes to one day cross them all off the list – sharing her experiences as she goes.
