Hi! I’m Krista

I’m originally from Long Island, NY and left the country for the very first time in 1991 when my high school organized an Easter weekend audience with the Pope in Vatican City! As we toured Assisi, Florence, Venice and finally Rome, I was struck by the beauty of other places and made it my mission to experience as much of the world as possible. At the University of Notre Dame, I spent my sophomore year in beautiful Innsbruck, Austria, exploring a lot of Europe while I was there. (By train! Because in those days, flights were much more expensive.)

After college, I moved to Chicago and joined the financial services industry. (I know a lot about retirement investing.) The world kept calling me though and I used all my vacation time to visit places like London, Munich, Brussels, Beijing, and Hong Kong. After getting my MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, I moved to London where I lived for 11+ years. From my new base in the UK, I branched out, visiting places like Jordan, Israel, Morocco, Egypt, Oman, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. As of this writing, I’ve visited over 75 countries.

These days, I run my travel agency from sunny West Palm Beach, Florida. And while I still enjoy planning my own trips, now my mission is to help others plan theirs!
