Our Story
I am a globetrotting travel advisor (and history buff) specializing in luxury group trips, off the-grid travel, and cruises. I don’t like to sit at home for very long. I try to check out a new locale every month. Large trips/small road trips make me happy. Throw in a museum and I am in heaven. I love to research the history of all the places I visit so that I can discover the story, culture, and cuisine. I like to explore nooks and crannies and have traveled throughout the United States, Europe, and Mexico. I live in Las Vegas and I lived for many years in Chicago, so I am an expert in those cities, as well. When I am not on a road trip or jet-setting, I am on a cruise. I would love to share my passion for travel with you and curate unique itineraries that will make you the envy of your friends.
Travel Style
I like to travel to learn about or experience things. Panning for gold in Alaska, flying on a trapeze in Sarasota, absorbing the art in the Sistine Chapel, finding Vivaldi's Museum in Venice, a luau in Maui, tapas in Barcelona, and snorkeling in Honduras are just a few of the of the things that I have experienced. I research everything that there is to do in that location. I research the best places to learn about the place, meet the residents, experience the culture (both current and past), and then I research the off-the-beaten-path places. My husband and I have a saying that when looking for a restaurant, we take two lefts and a right. We prefer to eat where the locals eat.

Kristy was so helpful in finding places to stay for a last minute road trip. I gave some simple requests and a general location; each time she chose a unique place to stay that made our trip even more special and meaningful.
