Kristin traveled around the world by herself from 2000-2001. She traveled west from California through New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, China, India, Nepal, and East Africa. She brought along a mini disc recorder, and captured her experiences in sound as well as on film and on paper. Whenever she listens to this audio, she is transported into the moment with an immediacy her pictures and journal cannot imitate. She hopes that teachers, students and the general public will enjoy traveling the world through the sounds she captured in that year of her life.
