About Me

Golden Hour on ACK
Golden Hour on ACK

Travel has been in my DNA since childhood. I’ll never forget sitting with my dad at the local motor club, poring over maps and planning road trips. The travel agent would hand me a sticker and a Dum Dum, but she gave me something even greater: the spark that ignited my lifelong love of adventure.

Fast forward 25 years, and I’ve built a career at the intersection of luxury hospitality and cutting-edge technology. I’ve worked with some of the world’s most prestigious brands, learning firsthand what elevates a journey from ordinary to extraordinary. My travels have taken me across the globe, giving me an insider’s perspective on creating experiences that are seamless, memorable, and tailored to each traveler’s unique desires.

Now, I’m using that expertise to craft one-of-a-kind getaways for my clients. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape, an empowering solo adventure, or a family trip with a twist, I’ll take care of the details so you can focus on the magic. I specialize in bespoke itineraries for couples, solo travelers, families, and individuals with diverse abilities – because everyone deserves to explore the world, no matter the challenge.

Your travel dreams aren’t just wishful thinking; they’re closer than you imagine. Let’s create something extraordinary together. 

Ready to make your travel dreams a reality? Let’s connect! Schedule a consultation today, and we’ll start designing your next unforgettable journey.

First Time Cruise Experience
Reviewed By MomNeedsVacation@51 - Cleveland, Ohio | Traveled to Caribbean
I worked with Kristin to plan my first cruise. She made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the whole process. She took care of all the major trip arrangement, but it was the little touches that made me feel confident as the cruise date approached: an onboarding package mailed to my house with a tote bag, luggage tags, cute cruise door magnets, and other fun surprises; dairy free menu options on the cruise and during excursions; and most important to me…one month before the departure date she hosted a zoom call and we walked through the entire trip, confirming travel details, excursion itineraries, and addressed all my questions. The trip was amazing!! I would do it again. I highly recommend it!!

Everyone is happy!
Reviewed By Zoofam - San Jose, CA | Traveled to Maui Island | Hawaii | USA
Kristen coordinated a family trip for us for a celebration of life. Our families had different priorities, budgets and needs. Kristen was able to address all of our needs, wants and "have to"s and still keep us together and happy! The property was beautiful and had all the things we wanted. We were close to shopping, restaurants and places to sightsee. Kristen was a good resource for these as well as planning our celebration of life. I definitely recommend her services!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Exactly what I needed!
Reviewed By Debbie - San Jose, CA | Traveled to Mexico
I needed a getaway. A friend recommended talking with Kristin. No doubt the best decision I've made in a long time! Kristin suggested a short cruise, booked me the perfect room and made it simple. I'm a control freak who takes care of others. It was nice to have someone take care of me so perfectly.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our AMAWaterways Colors of Provence river cruise was the latter—a journey that blended vibrant landscapes, rich history, and indulgent flavors into one unforgettable experience. Cruising through the Rhône River in August felt like stepping into an impressionist painting, e...
