My Story
I’m a San Francisco Bay Area-based planner extraordinaire with a passion for crafting immersive, culture-rich journeys. I offer transparent pricing, exclusive perks, and unforgettable customized experiences.
My Travel Style
My love of travel began as a post-college European hostel backpacker and has evolved into an obsession with boutique city hotels and luxury beach resorts. I am a believer in balancing cultural itineraries with plenty of time to relax, wander, and enjoy a new destination. My perfect trip combines the vibrant energy of big city culture with the tranquility of nature. Whether wandering through cobblestone streets, hiking in majestic mountains, or soaking up the sun at the beach, I find joy in the exploration. No adventure is complete without indulging in a local food tour and wine tasting excursion. I love researching new destinations and can’t wait to plan your perfect itinerary.

Kristine went above and beyond to help make our trip a success. She made great suggestions for hotels, restaurants, excursions, and experiences. She made certain that our itinerary was updated and that everything we needed for our trip was easily accessible. She gave us time to consider and research her suggestions, while gently reminding us to make timely decisions before things filled up. Kristine is wonderful to work with and highly recommend.

It was a dream working with Kristine! She was knowledgeable, responsive, quick and very easy to work with. Her communication is excellent - concise, thorough and timely. We loved all the hotels she booked us into and she found some real gems. The pre-trip information was very helpful and guided us through Puglia. So grateful for all her help and suggestions! I highly recommend her!

Working with Kristine exceeded our expectations. Kristine's knowledge and guidance on where and how we should plan our European trip relative to our preferences was invaluable. Key details such as hotels, rental cars, trains, and activities were planned for us as requested. The Trip Plans app was a lifesaver with offline access to tickets and maps as well as helpful hints to ensure we had a smooth and enjoyable vacation. We greatly appreciate Kristine's assistance and wouldn't hesitate to work with her to organize future travel plans.

Seven Perfect Days in Puglia: Bari to Gallipoli
I just returned from a perfect trip through Puglia’s whitewashed villages and stunning seaside beaches. With family roots in Calabria, southern Italy has always been on my bucket list. Known as the “heel of the boot” Puglia is one of the most authentic and charming destinations in Italy. I loved wandering the cobblestone streets, trying hand-made pastas at local trattorias, sipping espresso with locals, and relaxing on pristine white sand beaches. Puglia is spread out, so plan 7–10 days, especially if you want to explore the Salento region, which was my favorite. September was the perfect time to visit—warm enough to swim, no rain, and slightly fewer tourists.
