Travel is in Kristen’s blood. When she was just six years old, her family left Minnesota in a Volkswagen pop-top camper and drove through Central America to Argentina and Brazil. They then continued their year-and-a-half journey in Europe and Africa. In 2006, she followed suit with her husband and two children, and they traveled for a year throughout Europe. She’s gone to cooking school in Rome and Provence, swum with the sharks and rays in Tahiti, explored the ruins of Machu Picchu, kissed a cheetah in Zimbabwe, and confronted the Oracle at Delphi.
From Kristen’s personal travel experiences, she has learned that travel is more than simply seeing a new destination but is an education that is both exhilarating and unforgettable. She understands the importance of traveling with family and loves helping other families plan trips. Prior to working as a Travel Advisor, Kristen graduated from Northwestern University and ran a successful design business. She uses her creativity and eye for detail along with each client’s vision to plan exceptional trips.
THANK YOU so so much for organizing such a wonderful trip. We had an amazing time and it far exceeded expectations. It was such a pleasure working with you and your team to make this vacation happen. I will certainly be in touch soon to plan more adventures!

Il borro is amazing. Sienna was amazing. As usual after sending some pics out to friends everyone wants your name… Every single location has been beyond amazing. And I did not think Borgo Santandrea could be surpassed. But our spot in Rome is so special it takes my breath away. The history and also it is so beautiful- it is just amazing. You are the best!

We had the most amazing honeymoon. Every day of it was perfect–our only regret is that it went by too fast. Thank you so much for making the time so special for us; it was the perfect note to start married life on.

The Galapagos trip was truly the trip of a lifetime! You know it had been on my bucket list for 25 years. I had high expectations after talking to you and booking w/ [Lindblad] but never in any of our wildest dreams did we think it would be so incredible.

Another trip of a lifetime! Kristen gets all E +‘s! Easy, efficient, effective, excellent, exceptional. And one A+ – awesome! Truly. Kristen is all of the aforementioned and so much more. I think that the E for efficient does cover organized too…. Very much so. And she’s so darned nice! It is such a pleasure to have Kristen handle so many of my “trips of a lifetime”. We would never have walked the Camino the way we did without her connections and intel. It was EASY. And let me tell you it was the opposite for others that we talked to along “the way”. They did not have Kristen on their team! Cancelled hotels, bad instructions, etc.

We’re relaxing at the Four Seasons and we just received a lovely delivery of fruit, wine and chocolates. Thank you so much!!! So unexpected, I thought they had the wrong room.
We’re having an amazing time, making lifetime memories, drinking wine in the afternoon and laughing until we cry.
Thank you for everything!!!!
