The Blonde Abroad (Kiersten Rich)
United States
Kiersten Rich, also known as Kiki, is the travel creator behind The Blonde Abroad. Her website combines destination guides with photography, packing advice and practical features, with solo female travel forming an important part of its identity. The perspective is personal, drawing on her own journeys while organising information around the questions readers face when planning a trip. The range of travel covered is deliberately broad. Adventure, budget travel, couples’ holidays and luxury experiences appear alongside food, style and photography. Detailed itineraries sit beside guidance on choosing equipment, preparing for a particular climate and shaping a trip around an interest. This gives the site a useful balance between visual inspiration and the everyday decisions that make an itinerary workable. Rich’s public story began with leaving a career in corporate finance to travel, and her professional platform continues to connect that experience with advice for other independent travellers. Her photography and editing resources add another dimension for readers interested in recording their own journeys. The Blonde Abroad is particularly suited to those who want a recognisable individual voice, clear planning categories and an emphasis on confidence when exploring somewhere unfamiliar.
