Travel style

I want to see everywhere and I am happy to do it solo, with my family, or in big or small groups of friends. I love to research a destination, and to find out what others have loved about it. I tend to plan itineraries that have pretty things to see, lots of time to sit and eat and drink and laugh and people watch, with fun activities in the mix. I think it is important to consider all of the members of a group when making a plan, even if it is a group of only two. It’s great to experience new things that you would not have considered on your own!

Kristen was wonderful to work with. Her attention to detail regarding our wants and needs for the trip was amazing! Her suggested sights, experiences, and “musts” for the trip were right on point.

Kristen was fantastic, the entire planning experience was seamless and everything we could've hoped for. The hotel she recommended was fantastic, we had all our dinners and transportation planned and it was all perfect. The communication was excellent, it all really was perfect and highly recommend!

Kristen was off-the-charts fantastic in booking our whole trip. From helping us with hotels to guiding us through the attributes of each neighborhood to booking wonderful activities and restaurants, it was a really great experience. There is no way we could have done it ourselves and we are so appreciative of her effort. It was an awesome trip!!
