Author Kirsten Kester

Kirsten K. Kester is a Copenhagener living in Aarhus with her West Jutland husband.
Together they have traveled for more than 25 years.

Kirsten is also an artist and has exhibited both in Denmark and several places abroad, including Berlin, New York and Mexico. Kirsten writes about travel and art in his own way blog, on Facebook and the Instagram.

Kirsten is on the unpredictable journey where she does not follow the other tourists on her heels. The Great Wall of China, for example, is only experienced in the far western corner of China and not in Beijing. As some of the first tourists, Kirsten and her husband traveled in 1992 by train through a Soviet Union that had just been disbanded and replaced by new independent republics.

Both Kirsten and her husband prefer to travel on land rather than in the air. They take time for whatever environment they may be in, and visit with equal joy new as well as already visited countries.

Since she was quite young, Kirsten has challenged herself and others on various journeys, especially because she is in a wheelchair. The challenge is probably greatest for others, as Kirsten has long since got used to a life in a wheelchair. For Kirsten, most things are ridiculous; it is for her about will spiced with a bit of imagination. Others often let doubt get in the way and see obstacles rather than opportunities.

Since May 2014, Kirsten has also struggled with prolonged concussions, which has posed greater challenges than she has ever experienced as a disabled person in a wheelchair. Travel during this period has been more limited, but travel - she wants to.
