Krista was born and raised in Miramichi, New Brunswick, on the east coast of Canada. Aged 22 and a recent university graduate blossoming quickly in a promising career, she stunned everyone by resigning her hard-won job to set off and explore the world. 'I'll be back in a year,' she said, silently worrying she was making the biggest mistake of her life. Fifteen years later, her travels and adventures in almost 50 countries now enchant and delight readers of all ages. When Krista's not off exploring, she can be found in London, England, with her husband Erik and their naughty bunny Splotchy.
