Family Travels and Adventures
San Jose, California

I'm a family-focused travel advisor who shares a passion for two world-class, amazing destinations: United Kingdom, and California.

We'll start in the UK. I have extensive, first-hand knowledge about many UK venues and I'm eager to share my passion for the UK by creating highly-personalized itineraries that may include London, Bath, Cornwall, The Cotswolds, Oxford, the Lake District, Derbyshire, Liverpool, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. I am a certified Brit Agent, and family focused, as many of my excursions back and forth across the pond have been with my son in tow. As such, I've also experienced many of these destinations as a traveling mom, and know what attractions, restaurants, accommodations, etc. will appeal and be appropriate for families with children (e.g., a Harry Potter-focused adventure in London.)

Next, we'll come back home to California. So much more than Hollywood, the beaches, and Disneyland, California showcases charming, small towns; deserts, mountains, excellent food and wine, hiking, biking, great golf and that's just the beginning of all that this destination offers its visitors. I look forward to planning your California adventure that may include excursions to tour historic sites and attractions, active adventure outings in the mountains, wine tours that include delightful food pairings, or a relaxing beach getaway to a site that's only known to the locals.

Whether you're ready to travel to the United Kingdom or stay closer to home in the great state of California... I can get you there!

Kristen was so amazing and introduced me to a new way of traveling. I had never been to Europe before so wasn't sure what to expect, especially due to the covid restrictions. She ensured I was always aware of all travel requirements, provided wonderful suggestions such as a food walking tour, and her expertise in planning helped our daily activities flow seamlessly leaving plenty of downtime for us to relax or add other items to our agenda. Loved her availability through the whole process! Very pleased and will be using her again for my future girls trip.

Kristin planned out our trip to Portugal for two weeks, allowing us to see various areas such as the coast, the big cities, the country side, and the beautiful Douro Valley. The excursions were on point and worth the time. Our favorites were Douro Valley and Lisbon. The Vintage hotel in Douro Valley was absolutely exquisite. The views of the river & hills and the Port wine won our hearts. Kristin couldn't have picked a better boutique hotel for us in Lisbon. The location was perfect and walking distance to everything! Kristin also calmed our nerves about getting COVID-19 tests, by researching places where we could get them done for traveling. We trust Kristin with our travel planning and our safety.

Kristin assisted in finding activities we had not done before, ie. walking food tour and assistance with transportation to and from Whistler was extremely helpful. Highly recommend.

Kristin is a gem! She goes above and beyond to ensure that you have an amazing vacation tailored to your every need/want. She does all the work that takes time, finding the right hotels, airlines, activities, etc. that would take an inordinate amount of researching and comparing if you were to do it yourself. It's well worth what she charges to have her do the legwork for you!

This is the second time I have used Kristin to plan a trip for me. Last summer I went to Europe and it was planned by Kristin & everything was great! I just got back from Sedona, AZ and had not been there before & was traveling with my dog, so I knew finding good dog friendly lodging might be more difficult, as I didn't want to spend a week at a Motel 6! I would definitely have her plan any trip to a place that is unfamiliar to me or for a longer multi-stop trip.

I would not recommend the jeep tour in Denali (sounds like we would have been much better off with the bus tour). Both wildlife cruises were great along with the float plane excursion to Clark Lake (originally going to Katmai).

Stuff I really liked: 1. Our snorkel instructor 2. The Napali Sunset Cruise - We saw 3 whales in the sunset, and it was a very memorable experience 3. Thanks a lot for the tip about the app to be used for the Waimea Canyon Drive! We really enjoyed the stories narrated in it 4. We loved our hotel Koloa Landing - the in-room laundry was heaven-sent. I loved the room and the shower pressure in the bath. The swimming pools were GREAT! We kind of re-discovered our childhood on the slides :D Once again, thanks a lot Kristin! You really really made our trip. I already recommended you to a few friends and will spread the word more with time. I added a review on Yelp - if I can help out with a recommendation/review elsewhere, please do let me know.

Extremely likely! We haven't done much travel outside of Mexico and Hawaii but would absolutely use Kristin again! Getting stuck down travel app rabbit holes is a major time suck and huge guessing game when you're not familiar with where you're going. Having an expert help plan is a huge piece of mind that takes so much stress out of the planning and logistics. Plus her expertise in the travel experiences you book through her is a guaranteed great time.

Kristin exceeded all expectations when it came to help planning my European trip. She took time to build a vacation specific to my family. She was extremely attentive to any questions I had along the way. When one of our tours got cancelled, she as working all hours to help plan another tour.
