I&#8217;ve been to six out of seven continents and have hitchhiked on all of them, I have camped on most of them, and absolutely love the great outdoors.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4051 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-3-336x460.jpg\" alt=\"Kristin Addis hiking a wooden slat paved nature trail.\" width=\"336\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-3-336x460.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-3-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-3.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/>\n<h3>How did you get started blogging?<\/h3>\nI quit my job as an investment banker and really wanted to take a sabbatical, but I&#8217;m also incapable of not having a project so I started the blog out of a deep desire to be a travel writer. It&#8217;s something I always fantasized about as a kid and so I finally set out to make my dream come true.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4064 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-10-817x460.jpg\" alt=\"Kristin Addis sits in front of a waterfall, complete with rainbow arcing in front of her.\" width=\"817\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-10-817x460.jpg 817w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-10-441x248.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-10-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-10.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 817px) 100vw, 817px\" \/>\n<h3>How do you think blogging has changed since you started?<\/h3>\nI remember when I started, the way to make money was to have a bunch of niche sites and to have ads on them, or to sell links, and Twitter was the hottest social network. Instagram was brand new back then. Since then a lot of people have come and gone from travel blogging but I think the same things remain true: good content will always be king, or queen, actually.\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best part of the blog world for you?<\/h3>\nI really love the connections it has allowed me to make, both with other bloggers and with readers and people from the industry. I have learned so much and I&#8217;m so grateful for the ride it has taken me on.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4066 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-11-690x460.jpg\" alt=\"Kristin Addis looks out over a mountain range from a rocky outcrop.\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-11-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-11-441x294.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristin-Addis-11.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the worst part of blogging for you?<\/h3>\nBlogging can be really catty. In a lot of ways it feels like junior high or high school. It&#8217;s easy enough to just unplug and disconnect by not going on social media and just focusing on my own plot of land, if you know what I mean. As long as I am honing in on my unique gifts this part of the industry doesn&#8217;t have to affect me. Easier said than done but it gets easier with each passing day.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4054 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristis-Addis-5-690x460.jpeg\" alt=\"The Northern Lights.\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristis-Addis-5-690x460.jpeg 690w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristis-Addis-5-441x294.jpeg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristis-Addis-5-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kristis-Addis-5.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\n<h3>Who are your FAVORITE bloggers?
