Hello fellow traveler,

I truly love what I do, and my goal as a luxury travel advisor is simple: It's to make sure you love every moment of your vacation. Nothing is more rewarding than putting my talents and skills to work to help others experience the excitement of extraordinary destinations and new cultures. Travel advising is the perfect intersection of what I do best — envisioning, planning, and connecting with others — and what interests me most: places, people, cultures, and meaningful experiences.

Creating the perfect travel experience starts with listening carefully and understanding exactly what you envision. My years in human resources and executive coaching taught me the value of truly getting to know each client and what matters most to them. From there, I draw on my background in partnerships and event management to design seamless, personalized travel experiences that reflect your needs, priorities, and appetite for adventure.

To me, creating an itinerary is like working from a blank canvas — one I have the privilege of shaping around each client’s unique, desires, and sense of discovery. Helping others create lasting memories through travel is truly a privilege, and one of the most fulfilling parts of my work. I’m fortunate to work with Ciao Bambino, a luxury family travel planning company that has been creating extraordinary travel memories for families for over twenty years.

I lived in Munich, Germany, for more than eight years, and during that time — as well as before and since — I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and beyond. I’m married to a German, and we are a bilingual household. Exploring new cultures has always been a passion of mine, and I love discovering authentic local experiences and unique adventures for both myself and my clients.

When I’m not planning travel, I enjoy spending time in historic Concord, Massachusetts, with my husband, our 16-year-old son, and our 6-year-old dog. Our daughter is 20, lives in Munich, and is in medical school, which gives our family an especially meaningful connection to both New England and Europe. I also enjoy fine wine and food, yoga, walks in nature, cheering on our children in their many pursuits, and staying active in local community events and philanthropic work.

I would love the opportunity to get to know you and create the perfect travel experience for you!

Warmly, Kristen
