Kristen Blackburn

Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m a Luxury Travel Advisor specializing in customized vacations throughout Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and beyond, including luxury river and ocean cruises, honeymoons, destination weddings, and group travel. Travel has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve now created more than 2,000 customized itineraries for my clients. I’m naturally detail-oriented and probably a little too curious when I travel! I spend a lot of time experiencing destinations, touring hotels and resorts, meeting with travel partners, and continuing my training so I can give my clients recommendations based on more than what looks good online. Even on my own vacations, I usually end up touring hotels for future clients. I believe there’s a big difference between simply booking a trip and truly knowing what you’re recommending. My job is to get to know how you like to travel, narrow down the thousands of options out there, and recommend what I believe is the best fit for you. I’m selective about what I recommend, and I’m honest about it too. I won’t suggest something simply because it’s popular, has a luxury label, or costs more. And if there’s something I don’t know firsthand, I’ll tell you and use the trusted travel partners and resources I’ve built over the years to get the right answer. I work best with travelers who appreciate great hotels, memorable experiences, personalized service, and having someone they trust take care of the details. Tell me what you’re looking for, and I’ll use my experience and connections to bring it all together. Travel Designed Around You.
