Ciao, I'm Kirsty - a type 1 diabetic solo female travel blogger. I've been adventuring solo since 2013, though I do enjoy the occasional trip with my husband. I've been to 42 countries across Europe, Africa, SEA and the Middle East- sounds few, but I'm a serial country repeater. Italy has been home since 2016. I'll soon be applying for citizenship. I live in Venice with my husband Mauro and our adorable, oversized Maine Coon Giulio. I've been to all 20 regions of Italy and now have my sights set on visiting all 380 of the 'Borghi più belli d'Italia' - a slow process. I write about travelling with diabetes, solo female travel safety, and honest destination guides. I believe type 1 diabetes shouldn't stop you doing anything, especially seeing the world.
