Travel writer Gina Kremer of Denver has an insatiable thirst for adventure and a self-diagnosed case of chronic wanderlust that can get her into trouble.

During her travels she has accidentally stepped into the northern side of the military demarcation line in South Korea, flown with strangers in a puddle jumper to a secluded Bahamian island party, strapped on crampons to hike glaciers in Iceland, and accidentally driven through private vineyards in Italy.

Whether it’s hiking 1,400 miles on the Appalachian Trail, drinking whiskey and making new friends in Scotland, or roaming Burning Man on a cruiser bike, she is up for it. Gina’s story “Paradise Lost” is featured in Adventures of a Lifetime: Travel Tales from Around the World. Read more of her work at GinaKremer.com
