Travel style

My love of travel began as a post-college European hostel backpacker and has evolved into an obsession with boutique city hotels and luxury beach resorts. I am a believer in balancing cultural itineraries with plenty of time to relax, wander and enjoy a new destination. My perfect trip combines the vibrant energy of big city culture with the tranquility of nature. Whether wandering through cobblestone streets, hiking in majestic mountains or soaking up the sun at the beach, I find joy in the exploration. No adventure is complete without indulging in a local food tour and wine tasting excursion. I love researching new destinations and can’t wait to plan your perfect itinerary.

Kristine's reviews

Kristi did an amazing job. Our days were filled with the right amount of tours or suggestions for things to do along with time to explore on our own. She nailed down all the details and made all the logistics a breeze. I would 100% recommend working with Kristi on your next trip and I certainly will!

Kristi recommended this resort after I shared information on resorts I found via Costco. She was able to book a 5 star hotel at a better cost. Self-parking was also included which isn't the case with most of the other resorts. She helped us get an upgraded room from a garden view to a partial ocean view on arrival. We were celebrating our birthdays and the resort and Kristi sent cupcakes and a bottle of prosecco which we enjoyed on the balcony.
