Living and working in London for a year gave Kristy plenty of opportunity to travel, and she took every advantage the location of the British capital afforded her.

Living in such close proximity to Europe, Kristy was able to travel throughout the continent, and counts Barcelona as one of her favourite destinations. She lists the city’s pulsating vibe, funky beach bars and delicious foods as some of her favourite memories. “The markets have an amazing array of delicious treats,” she says.

Some of her other most memorable experiences include a stay at the ornate Emirates Palace, touring the ancient pyramids in Egypt and visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Great Wall of China.

Today, with close to 15 years’ experience in the travel industry and having experienced much of the world herself, Kristy has added another specialty to her list of travel consultant accomplishments – that as a family travel expert. Familiar with the endurance required when it comes to travelling with children, Kristy is able to relate it back to her own family experience.

Describing one client’s trip, Kristy recalled how she helped organise the travel plans for a couple travelling to India to collect their new born surrogate children. Kristy’s expertise with such arrangements provided much needed support to the family – just another reason why she loves the work she does.

Get to know me

What are your favourite destinations to visit and why?

I love Barcelona, it is such a beautiful city with all the best things - food, markets, and even nightlife! The cruise port is so close by, making it a perfect pre- or post-cruise extension city. 

What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

I helped organise the travel plans for a couple travelling to India to collect their newborn surrogate children. It was such an honour to be involved in such a special trip. 

Why do you love travel? Tell us what it means to you?

For me, travel is about creating memories and experiences. I love that I have different travel experiences with my travel partners, work, friends and family – each trip is completely unique. And of course, the food keeps me coming back for more! 

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I always ensure that hotels are carefully hand-picked for each of my clients, as they all have different needs and requirements. My beautiful clients are always so grateful for the time I spend curating their itineraries.
