I think a proper tribute to Anthony Bourdain would be wherever you live, venture across town, across the tracks, to a place you wouldn’t normally go and find a place to eat and talk with strangers. #anthonybourdain

So, I mean, we're nearly at the end of September, but here's my monthly update for August! Even though it's so late, I HAD to write this one because there's some veeery exciting news within. (Which will also eventually mean more travel on the horizon!) kirstovertheworld.com/2018/09/monthl…

Happy New Year! After a big break from blogging (deliberately, this time) I'm back for 2019! Here's my recap of 2018 - not my favourite of years by any means, but some pretty cool stuff happened. kirstovertheworld.com/2018/12/lookin…

Earlier this week, Donald Trump pardoned suffragette Susan B. Anthony for her crime of voting when it was not legal to do so. The Susan B. Anthony Museum has rejected his pardon, as Susan B. Anthony did not accept she had committed a crime and therefore did not need a pardon.

Good activity, good word. Frolic.

So sad for STA Travel UK. I used them for heading to Australia when I studied abroad and was so overwhelmed by their kindness to the nervous but excited mess that I was planning my first big solo travel experience. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

Resharing this classic to cheer everyone up a bit tonight

I write a newsletter! In Other News is a weekly round-up of 5 top stories (including lifestyle, film, TV, travel, sports, interviews, features) from The Telegraph. Get it this afternoon: telegraph.co.uk/tw-in-other-ne…

Yes, yes and more yes.

Such a lovely story!

The paywall is down for 24 hours on The Telegraph, so everything in my In Other News newsletter this pm is free to read! This week: Charles Dance's bod, my Line of Duty admission and I ponder Lana Del Rey. Sign up here: telegraph.co.uk/tw-in-other-ne…

While The Telegraph's paywall is down today, here's my piece on the possibility of us going through a post-lockdown reverse culture shock. I wrote it in June last year thinking we'd be out of it by now and yet it's crazily still relevant 🤯 telegraph.co.uk/travel/comment…

I saw 'houseplant', I clicked, then I was promptly confronted by my own eco-guilt and the planet's demise. Excellent article by Megan Garber on a new sort of environmentalism: theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

According to a 2013 survey, 8% of Canadians have had sex in a canoe.

The only fact you need when explaining the difference between Americans and Brits...

Losing a final is heartbreaking. But the fallout is agony 💔 Racist abuse of national heroes. Women at 38% increased risk of domestic violence because England lost a game of football. Messages urging Black fans to hurry home to safety, away from the baying mob. Ashamed.😞

A huge well done to Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho 🖤 To people of colour impacted by racist responses, remember that our humanity and value to society is not determined by our accomplishments. Respect is the bare minimum of what we deserve.
