About
A design-obsessed, food-driven, adventurer. Always on the hunt for the next cozy retreat, great meal or unbelievable landscape.
Travel style
Slow travel, off-the-beaten-path discoveries and experiences that reveal the local culture are what keeps me boarding plane-after-plane. I love a luxe, beautifully designed hotel just as much as I appreciate a B&B run with love. You are just as likely to find me enjoying a gourmet meal as you are to catch me on my quest to find the very best taco truck.

Kristen's reviews
Booking with Kristen was a breeze. She found the most beautiful accommodations at a range of prices and reliable transportation between the airport and hotel. Planning our last minute trip was stress-free due the care and attention she brought to the process. Kristen is a great communicator. She listened to what we wanted and delivered above and beyond. Can't wait to book another trip with her!

Kristen was so easy to work with. She was quick to provide us with a few recommendations, and we chose this from the list. Kristen arranged all the details, sent us the information quickly, and checked in to see how we were enjoying the stay. She also coordinated a fun surprise of wine and cookies for our room. We're grateful to have her help in setting up this great getaway!

Kristen was incredibly helpful. We booked this trip rather last-minute and we didn't have the time to do the usual research and booking. She was incredibly helpful and this booking was amazing and spot-on! We loved the hotel and all we were able to do in Seville. Thanks!

Kristen is amazing! We had a quick chat about preferences and she came back with amazing resort recommendations. She went above and beyond in finding us the perfect rooms, great price and little surprises for when we arrived. Since she had traveled to the area she was able to provide details about the area, how to get around, things to do, and where to go. I would definitely use Kristen again. Working with her was a breeze, she listened and more than delivered on what we were looking for. Our vacation was relaxing and adventurous with her help.
