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.
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.

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.

8 Days in Paradise: The Ultimate O'ahu & Maui Guide
Hawai’i is more than just a destination; it’s a magical escape that has been my personal happy place since I was a child. O’ahu and Maui are my favorite islands because they truly offer something for everyone. From the cosmopolitan buzz of Honolulu to the chill island vibes of a Maui waterfall trail, I find myself drawn back year after year whenever I need a dose of sun and the grounding energy of the islands. This guide is a collection of the spots that keep me coming back for more.

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.
