Since Bad Bunny put a spotlight on The Americas, I thought I'd look back in my archives and share some of the countries I've been to. Let's start with Curaçao. It's part of "the ABC Islands." Can you name the other two?

I found it to be full of more than 30 beautiful beaches, friendly people, an artsy soul, and great architecture. It is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and its UNESCO-listed capital is Willemstad.

I would absolutely go back to Curaçao 🥰

I didn’t need a press release this morning to tell me that, “Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance sparks surge in searches for flights to Puerto Rico,” but I am totally willing to be one more source of inspiration for you, telling you that you should Discover Puerto Rico 😉

I don’t have access to my photos of Old San Juan or I’d show you more of the food & culture. But maybe I too can go soon and shoot some more. 😊🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼

It's such a beautiful time of year to be in California! I hope you can still visit, or plan for next year at this time.

In Sonoma Wine Country, the end of winter brings mustard blooms and visitors to the colorful mustard fields of Sonoma County, California each year.

I just added more images to my new print store. I'm having to start over after the fulfiller behind my last store screwed up big time for a client and I could no longer support them after that incident!! I would be so grateful for your support on the new store: https://kirsten-alana-photography.framer.art/

🥰 I recently read a study that found there is a healing power in having photography around you at home or in the office. And being healthier never hurt right 😉

France has been on my mind this week because of headlines that gave me hope and since Danté Vincent Photography just treated me to the most extraordinary birthday, here are some photos he took the last time we were there together. ❤️ Isn't he talented!

My friend Tim wrote a stirring piece about Greenland that, I think, is a must read for this era. It’s in Outside Magazine https://www.outsideonline.com/adventure-travel/essays/greenland-wild-trump/ r

With President Trump obsessed with Greenland, Outside's contributing editor Tim Neville reflects on what's really at stake.

I just read a study that found there is a healing power in having nature photography around you at home or in the office! And being healthier never hurt. This would be a good one hang up: https://kirsten-alana-photography.framer.art/image/palm-noir-california-united-states

I realize asking for your support at a time when so many are struggling may seem tone deaf. But for artists, and small business owners, times like this are when we need support more than ever. And I believe art is something we always need more of. Not less. So if you are in a position to buy, and you need art in your life [or know someone who does], here [in comments] are the two places you can buy mine:

You've watched me cruise with Viking for years now and I finally felt I had enough experience to write a guide showcasing my favorite itineraries and some reasons why I think Viking does cruising right. I hope it will help you plan your own journey with them as I really want to be a resource for you. And you can always email me, of course, if I fail to address something you are wondering about with this guide. https://kirstenalana.com/travel/cruises-and-tours/viking-ocean-river-cruises/

Thank you for supporting my work. It's because of you that the brand makes my experiences possible. And I do not take that lightly.
