About Me

Foodie Agent Specializing in Central/South America

From the age of 12 when I took my first international trip to Cancun, Mexico I’ve been in love with traveling and the amazing food that I discover with each new place I visit. Some of my greatest memories from my years of travel involve food. From eating the unique style of pizza in Macedonia, to drinking coffee that was poured from a backpack worn by a Columbian street vendor, to roasting marshmallows directly over the lava flows in Guatemala. All of these food experiences and so many more would only be possible by traveling to the unique destination where they can be tasted.

At the young age of 12 I took my first trip out of the country to Cancun with my family. At 17 I spent a month in Russia - this got me hooked. I tried to go to a different place every year, sometimes only in the USA but also outside of it. I love experiencing new cultures and food, nature ...Read More ▶

Rustic and Decadent Mountain Adventure
Reviewed By Lisa - Pulsbou, WA | Traveled to Honduras ~ Central America
I have now been on a few travel adventures with Kirstin. I really appreciate these trips with her because I'm always confident I'm in secure hands, and she always handles any complications with finesse. She is organized, conscious of travelers' budgets, knowledgeable, and really fun to be around. This excursion was to Pico Bonito (The Villas) on the Rio Cangrejal on the outskirts of La Ceiba. We had some rain, but that didn't ruin our plans. Kirstin came prepared, as usual, with board games and engaging conversation, along with an eclectic group of travelers (who became new friends).
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

"Amazing Adventure Trip!"
Reviewed By "Adventurous Soul" - Bluffton, SC | Traveled to Belize ~ Central America
I would most definitely travel with Kirstin again. I recommend her to anyone who is planning a trip to Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, or another destination. She was organized, took care of all details, spoke fluent Spanish and English. She made my trip to remote parts of Belize Butterly farm , family owned Cocoa farm as well as fishing villages a wonderful experience. We ate at relaxing, small riverfront restaurants and family kitchens. Our travels took us via buses, boats, taxis, and tuk tuks which she had arranged in order to make my vacation just what I wanted. I will travel with Kirstin again and recommend her to others who would like adventure vacations.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Great Escape
Reviewed By David B. - Utila, Honduras | Traveled to Honduras ~ Central America
While having been an adventurous traveler in my youth, this was my first experience travelling as a Senior. It was also the first time letting someone else take care of every imaginable detail: all the specifics of travel, connections, accommodation, shopping, supplies and who I would be travelling with. Kirstin did a fantastic job in every respect. Her secret? She works with you to find out exactly what you are looking for and has the local connections and knowledge to make it happen. She's fluent in Spanish, enthusiastic, informative and well-organized, and responsive to the individual requirements of every member of the group.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
