Hi and thanks for stopping by!  This is my corner of the internet where I share my love for travelling and also my appreciation for the history of the world – two things that go together quite well I think!

I'm Kirsty and I like to share bucket list type travel experiences but hopefully in a way that makes them accessible to all.  

I travel with my husband James and sometimes with our dog Annie.  My kids are grown now but do come along sometimes!
