About Me

Bali is an absolute dream come true, and I did not want to leave! Bali is a lush paradise where wild adventure meets spiritual serenity. Whether your perfect wake-up consists of sun salutations under the swaying palms, listening to surf-ready waves while sipping Kopi Luwak coffee, or heading out for a hidden jungle trek, Bali is waiting for you. Flying into Denpasar International Airport I already knew Bali had my heart, but as soon as I deplaned and traveled south to the Bukit peninsula, I knew I would forever be in awe and in love.

The sun soaked beaches of Bali are unmatched. From black sand beaches, to soft white sand beaches with hidden coves, to the always jaw dropping turquoise waters, every beach is ready to entice. Not to mention the surf-ready waves of Canggu where even the beginner of beginners can feel like a pro to the world-class breaks of Uluwatu. Surfing in Bali creates a rhythm to life that stays in your soul.

The emerald rice terraces of Ubud are brilliant, living, breathing landscapes that stop you in your tracks. Carved into the hillsides of the island, these rice paddies offer a look into the hum of daily life on Bali. The layered green stairways stretch for miles and miles and offer a sense of peace and timelessness. A hike among the paddies, or a bike along the paddies will leave you feeling grounded and connected. It can also lead you to a traditional Balinese cooking class where you harvest straight from the fields. A cooking class in Bali is unlike any other cooking class. The knowledge from the chef, the feeling of making food straight from the earth, it becomes the most delicious wonder.

Bali can be a destination of relaxation and reflection, but it can also be a destination of adventure and thrills. After surfing, white water rafting is the next best adventure (in my opinion) on the island. The Ayung River is perfect for beginners, and novices as well. Seeing the island from the water is an experience I encourage everyone to partake in. And a white water raft is one of the best modes of transportation.

Monkeys are considered sacred animals in Balinese Hinduism. Often associated with protection, mischief, and divine presence, they are especially revered in temple settings, like the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud or the Uluwatu Temple, where they are believed to guard the spirits of the temple. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a place that feels both wild and spiritual. The monkeys are wild, yet they observe and play with you. Not only will they taunt and take free hanging or standing items, but they will steady and calm you. These spiritual mammals are seen as sacred guardians, reminders to all of the delicate balance between spirit, nature and everyday life.

Bali is more than just a destination, it’s a feeling. Whether you're seeking a sun drenched relaxed vacation, a spiritual connection with morning flows, afternoons spent observing monkeys, or hiking in the jungle and emerging refreshed and ready to start cooking; Bali is ready, and waiting for you.

Vegas like a pro!
Reviewed By Nick and Jen - Indianapolis, IN | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
We haven’t been to Vegas in years, so we reached out to Kristin she did an awesome job planning our Vegas trip for me, my wife, and our friends! She helped us coordinate the long weekend with swanky rooms, cabanas at the pool, dinner overlooking the Bellagio fountains, drinks at hidden speakeasies around a concert at the Sphere. Everything went smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She helped us maximize our time and it was unforgettable. Highly recommend working with Kristin!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

First trip to tropical mexico
Reviewed By austinnguyen4 - tulum | Traveled to Tulum | Mexico | Mexico
Kristin was excellent in assisting me to with not the initial booking for safe and reliable transportation, but she was also most help by assisting me to make changes to the pickup times during the weekend and late at night as well. I definitely recommend choosing Kristen for help you plan out your next vacation as she doesn't just do a great job finding you safe and reliable booking, but assisting in modification during the middle of the vacation as well. Definitely had a peace of mind on vacation knowing that she was reliable for me when I needed it during vacation.

30th Birthday Trip to Mexico!!!!
Reviewed By Kristi & Joey - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen | Quintana Roo | Mexico
From the moment we started planning, Kristin was incredibly attentive and very detail-oriented. She listened to what we wanted most: relaxation, great food, and a bit of adventure, and she delivered on all fronts! We were celebrating my boyfriend's 30th birthday and wanted to do something special. This trip was amazing and Kristin took care of it all. The all-inclusive resort she recommended was beautiful! The restaurants on site were so delicious and the beach and pools were incredible. It was exactly what we wanted! Kristin also booked us a day trip to explore cenotes and Mayan ruins, which was just the right amount of adventure for us. She was so helpful and thought of everything for us! We loved working with her and will definitely use her in the future!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fantastic First Cruise to the Bahamas
Reviewed By Kelly - Indianapolis | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
We had an absolutely amazing time on our first cruise to the Bahamas! As first timers, we weren't sure what cruise line to choose or how long we wanted to go for, especially traveling with our 1 yr old. Kristin helped us narrow down the perfect cruise and it was so wonderful! She helped us with shore excursions and helped us with the timing of when we needed to be in Miami to make sure we made it on to the ship on time. Everything went so smooth and there is nothing like that crystal clear blue water! We can't wait to go on another cruise, maybe next time without our young child :)
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
