Whether it's a luxury river cruise, ocean cruise, an all inclusive resort, or a group getaway, I specialize in crafting experiences that match your style, pace and budget. 

My clients love that I am more than a travel advisor.  I'm a partner who handles the details, offers insider tips and ensures every adventure goes smoothly to the best of my abilities.   

With me, your next trip isn't just a vacation, it's a story you'll tell for years.

Kiersten is our Savior!
Reviewed By Stacy & Danika - Dickinson, ND | Traveled to Los Cabos | Baja California Sur | Mexico
TBH, I’ve never used a travel agent before, I always thought you had to pay extra… But you do not with Kiersten. I decided to use Kiersten for our Cabo trip for my daughter and I. Being from North Dakota, of course we ran into issues flying out between weather and mechanical issues so we missed our connection and could not get out to Cabo until the following day. Within 30 seconds Kiersten was replying back to me and getting our hotel reservations, excursion activities, cabana rentals, and airport transportation moved around. This would have taken me hours of stress and time! I recommend Kiersten 200%, she was on top of everything and so wonderful to work with. I will ALWAYS use Kiersten’s travel services in the future. She’s gets a 5??+ from us. THANK YOU, Kiersten!!

"I know how stressful travel delays can be, especially when they’re out of your control, so I’m really glad I could jump in quickly and take that off your plate. That’s exactly why I love what I do—so you’re not dealing with it all on your own while trying to get on vacation. It was such a pleasure helping you and your daughter with this trip, and I’m so happy everything still came together! I truly appreciate your trust and your kind words. I can’t wait to help you plan your next getaway"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Mother daughter getaway to Punta Cana
Reviewed By Katemac22 - Ofallon Missouri | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
From the minute, I reached out everything was so smooth. My mother and I originally did not know exactly where we wanted to go so we had asked for pricing and information on multiple places. Kirsten was able to get me information on so many different places that we could go. She talked me through all of the different options, depending on where we wanted to go as well as any extra perks that we got with certain places I had never used to travel agent before, but I will definitely be using one from here on out.
Kirsten Ray-Kuhn responded
"Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m so glad the process felt smooth from the very beginning and that I could help walk you and your mom through all the options. Exploring different destinations and perks is one of my favorite parts of planning. It means a lot to hear this was your first experience using a travel advisor—and even more that you’ll be using one going forward. I’d love to help plan your next trip whenever you’re ready! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
