About Krista

Me and Steve the Camel, on lovely day in the Sahara Desert.

Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, my primary objectives are to see the world, eat as much of it as possible and share the best of what I find, a couple of times a week or so.

Mild-mannered Regular Jane by day, intrepid traveler when time and money permit, I love sharing the fun bits of my previous adventures and I’m always happy to talk about planning the next one. I don’t like the idea of travel bucket lists, because I’d rather set travel priorities along the way of my life instead of using death as a deadline. 2013 will see me heading to Italy to eat well and wander along the Cinque Terre, and I’ll be doing the Camino de Santiago in 2014. Everything else gets planned as opportunities present themselves!

I write a lot. Professionally, about a lot of things that are in no way related to what I write, talk, or think about over here. For fun, I give my two cents over at Fashionable People, Questionable Things as their older, wiser, unpaid intern. A fan of eating everything in sight, I have also done some food blogging for Taste of Nova Scotia.

I’ve decided it’s possible to be a full-time traveler, it’s just a matter of perspective. I spent summer 2012 pursuing “Operation Hometown Traveler” as a way to challenge myself to find the unique, beautiful, and interesting about my hometown of Halifax and home province of Nova Scotia. Just like I would when traveling “away.” In July 2012, I started writing occasional blogs for NovaScotia.com, the province’s travel and tourism promotion website, about the many exciting and amazing things to do in our province. Every tourism ambassador needs an official photo, right?
