My Story
Hi, I’m Kristin! Based in Colorado and the founder of Raising Hikers, I lean on my “Type A” planning style to craft unforgettable, outdoor-focused journeys. My love for exploration began while studying abroad in Europe and has since taken me to over 30 countries. Today, I combine that global background with local expertise to help families trade the stress of logistics for more time spent outside.
Travel Style
I specialize in “Grit & Reward” travel—balancing the raw beauty of the outdoors with the comforts of a luxury stay. From National Park expeditions and multi-day European treks to five-star beachfront resorts, I help families navigate everything from backcountry trails to high-end all-inclusives. Whether you’re seeking a rugged mountain retreat or a tropical escape, I create seamless, adventure-forward itineraries so you can simply focus on the experience.

I loved working with Kristin for my stay in Seattle! She alleviated the mental load of this last minute trip for me in a big way. I needed a centrally located hotel with walkable food options that was a good price point for a last minute trip and she absolutely nailed it! Her options were in my price range with amenities that I didn't even know I needed (hello large parking spots for an SUV mom!) She thought of everything and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
