Hi, I’m Krista — an independent travel agent based in Iowa and the heart behind Lesson in Leisure.

By day, I’m busy juggling responsibilities. But when it’s time to travel? I’m the one who says, “Okay, where are we going next?”

On every family trip, girls’ weekend, or cruise, I’m the planner — building the itinerary, finding the best deals, and making sure there’s always something fun lined up. I genuinely love researching destinations, comparing options, and making travel feel easy instead of overwhelming.

Whether you’re planning a cruise, a memory-filled family getaway, or a much-needed weekend with your best friends, I’ll help you turn “we should go somewhere” into a trip that’s organized, stress-free, and full of moments you’ll never forget.

Because leisure shouldn’t be complicated — it should be well planned and well earned.
