Name: Kiersten Rich

Hometown: San Diego, California

Favorite place to photograph: Iceland

Bucket List destination: Raja Ampat, Indonesia and Patagonia.

Go-to gear: Fujifilm X-T2 with 18-55mm, GoPro HERO5 Black and DJI Mavic -- and yes, that all fits in my Prince Street bag.

What motivates you: The fact that life is short, and you only have one chance.

Biggest challenge: Not enough days in the week.

One piece of advice that stuck with you: All you have is your health.

Time of day are you most creative: Right before I go to sleep. *face palm*

One thing most people wouldn’t expect about you? My favorite music genres are heavy metal and punk rock.

Mistake you’ve learned from: Learning that being "good" at something and being "passionate" about something are two different things - you have to be both for the long run.

Work you are most proud of: My pursuits as a female entrepreneur. The Blonde Abroad - it started as a passion project and has evolved into a international business over the past five years.

Dream project: To establish a womens network that connects female entrepreneurs that, in turn, mentor and inspire young girls to become confident and college/career bound.

Goal for 2017: Survive.

Lightning round:

Cats or dogs - dogs.

Sweet or savory - sweet.

Most used phrase - "Dasssss it"

Favorite book - Harry Potter Series.

Biggest fear - Heights.

Earliest memory - Christmas when I got a Super Nintendo.

Hidden talent - Black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
