Mmmm yeah. Maybe I wasn’t cut out to be a backpacker after all…
My name’s Kristin and I’m an Iowa Girl! I eat as well as I can with a massive sweet tooth, run as often as I can despite the crazy Iowa weather, and am more often than not thinking about the places I want to travel to!

OUCH. And a busted ego??? I hate it when I fall. Glad you are okay.
Bummer! Hope it doesn’t slow you down too much on the rest of your trip (no pun intended!) Love your vlogs!
ouch… I bet it was pretty funny though
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time – enjoy the rest of your vacay!
Ouch is right! good thing no broken bones! I can just imagine you sprawling on the ground-first thing I’d do is look around to see if anyone saw me!!! Have a great time on the coast!
oh – dear. as one of the Winnie the pooh characters always says –
Hope you’re ok! – Don’t ever stop backpacking – it’s like the song – I get knocked down, then I get up again – no they’re never gonna keep me down! (yeah – I stopped – one of my regrets!)
oops!ouch! Hope your knees’ better now! it happens! take care!
Ouch!! Hope the swelling is going down and you are not in too much pain. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
You poor thing! I think a heaping bowl of pasta will help you feel better! Hope the rest of your trip is accident-free. Have a great time!
Oh no! Bruised ego yes? But remember, you’ll never see these people again…you have bigger sights to see!
Can I share my clumsiness story? I met my then bf in Milan (he was there for 1 wk already testing cars, he works for Road & Track magazine) for our drive through northern to southern Italy vacation. Milan is the fashion mecca of Italy so I had to go to the Louis Vuitton store to compare it to SoCAL’s LV stores. They had the security guard at the entrance like at most LV stores. It wasn’t that busy, maybe a dozen of people downstairs and a handful of people on the second floor but suuuper quiet! I was wearing these a long white skirt and pink top w/ cute wooden sandals that were 2.5″ thick and made that loud high-heel-clunking sound. Fiance and I were embarrassed so when I walked downstairs from the 2nd floor, I focused too much on not making any noise, that my foot slipped off the step and I slid down 5 of the gorgeous marble stairs!!! EVERYONE turned to look, the security card left his post and the employees all asked if I was okay in Italian. I was mortified!
Needless to say, my butt cheek and hips were bruised but I think it was mostly my ego that turned purple that day!
We never made it to Rome but that’s our next vacay and then work our way down the Amalfi coast to Sicily and Greece. Enjoy the rest of your vacay. You’ll love sharing your story over and over again!
Ouch – you poor thing! This is SO something I would do. I have danced my whole life (even in college) but I am so clumsy anywhere else. Can’t wait to see pictures from Rome.
Awwww babe!!!! I’m so sorry! Okay, I’m going to be honest, I did giggle just a tiny bit. But only because you are too cute and because I can see myself doing the exact same thing!
thats too funny! i hope ur okay though!!! cheers!
