Hi I'm Kristie
And I can't wait to help you and your family love your wanderlust.

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”

My name is Kristie. I'm from the Bay Area and an avid traveler. I believe that experiencing new cultures, tastes, and sights can change lives for the better. I have a 2 year old son Brennan, a husband Louis, a baby boy on the way Reece, and a cat named Peanut. When we started our family, it sounded like traveling with a little one would be impossible. But what I found is that it made me love and respect travel even more when we started traveling with our baby boy at 3 months old. I believe new parents shouldn't be afraid of traveling with their little ones. So come along with us as I document our adventures and help you & your children love your wanderlust even more. Cheers to you, your family and your wanderlust, Kristie

Hi I’m Kristie.

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”

Love Your Wanderlust started as my passion project to find & share the best in travel experiences in the world with others. Experiencing new cultures, tastes, and sights has been life changing for me. There’s nothing better than helping others create life long memories through travel. 

Crafting moments that make an impact on other people is second nature to me. I’ve learned from the best by working for Disney & other Fortune 500 brands like Taco Bell and Pandora. My experience working as a Cast Member at Walt Disney World Resort & Disneyland Resort had a profound impact on me. That experience taught me to respect and value every single interaction and detail in making an experience  for others. It’s this craft that I put into vacation planning for you.

I pour myself into crafting experiences for you because I love seeing someone’s eyes light up from the magic of new experiences. My travel philosophy is that travel should be uniquely curated to you. I am obsessed with figuring out how to make you love your wanderlust as much as I love mine.

“She planned and organized a bachelorette trip that I attended to Scottsdale, Arizona. Fourteen girls traveled from all over California to attend the 3 day 2 night bachelorette weekend. Kristie coordinated all of the planning for the getaway including assisting with flight reservations, booking the hotel stay, arranging transportation, and providing reservations for restaurants and activities. There was an itinerary including dinner reservations and bottle service for our nights on the town. We were all very happy with how organized everything was. The last morning included a farewell brunch at a very unique and exclusive restaurant, which was the perfect way to end to the weekend. The trip would not have been the same without Kristie’s meticulous planning.

“A group of about 10 of us wanted to vacation together, but brought a lot to the table: different starting and ending destinations and different desires in travel activities, lodging, and financial situations. Kristie built some structure for us. She took the brunt of researching different options for locations in Greece to visit, activities at each city, and lodging. She worked up different options, and sent it to the group to ask for feedback. The structure provided to the group was exactly what was needed to move forward with decisions. She also listened to the group’s opinions and tailored options to the needs.
A few experiences from that trip really stand out that Kristie coordinated was our boat trip around Oia. Our group had a private boat trip around that part of the island – and it was a beautiful experience. We meandered across the coast line, taking in the gorgeous scenery (all the beautiful white and blue towns!!), hanging out with our best friends, and even went snorkeling. My other favorite part besides eating all the Saganaki we could, was our private tour of the Acropolis, which Kristie also organized. For a group that large, it really helped being able to do private tours, so we could maximize our time in Athens. The tour guide Kristie organized was thoughtful in where he took us, and provided us not only information about historical Greece, but also who Athens is today – along with perspectives on society and the economy. We certainly made the most of our limited time in Greece.
Highly recommend Kristie’s capabilities of listening to people’s needs (even large groups!!) and being able to provide thoughtful and AMAZINGLY fun experiences!!”

“Kristie planned an anniversary staycation for us in San Diego after travel restrictions & the California fires limited the places we could travel to. What I loved about working with her is that she has our best interests at heart. Right when we were ready to book our original vacation, she advised us that the air quality was going to be bad. Instead of making us go through with it, she quickly reworked our vacation and created a mini-staycation for us at the Pendry San Diego. At the Pendry, we were treated like VIPs from the moment we walked in. From having our favorite drinks ready at the hotel, the extra resort amenities, and the amazing guest service, Kristie knows how to plan the perfect escape for us to relax & enjoy time with each other. True vacations are being able to not worry about anything and that’s exactly what she did for us!”
-The Ambroses
