Based in Dallas, Texas, she is a fervent advocate for enriching life through travel, a passion she shares with her college-age daughter.

Specializing in spiritual journeys and executive retreats, Kristi seeks to guide travelers away from their modern concrete jungles to ancient cities and serene natural settings. She is particularly interested in destinations known for their spiritual significance, including a personal goal of visiting every spiritual vortex in the world.
Kristi’s approach to travel is characterized by her disdain for entitlement and pampered expectations.
