Kirsten Bernhardt

I am a proud South Australian at heart, with a deep love of cheese, wine, my husband and family and travel (maybe in that order).

In January 2019 I embarked on a new adventure with my husband, when we packed up our lives and relocated to San Francisco, spurred on by a love for the city, and some wise words from Mark Twain:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails."

I am constantly surprised by how much I have learned as a result of this decision. I encourage everyone to dive into their own adventures, no matter how scary.

I am excited to share what I've learned along the way, in the hopes it makes your journey a little easier.

PS. I don't have Instagram or an iPhone. I remain optimistic regarding my ability to assimilate in the USA.

Wish me luck!
