Kristyn Terpinas
Founder and Travel Designer 

My passion for travel was ignited after college when I backpacked across Europe for five weeks. A brief stint as a Flight Attendant only deepened my wanderlust, and in the years that followed, I held marketing roles at Entertainment Cruises and United Airlines, further fueling my fascination with discovering new places around the world.

Later, I lived in Budapest, Hungary for five years with my U.S. diplomat husband and two children. This chapter allowed us to explore hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path destinations across Europe and beyond.

With a career rooted in both travel and marketing, I’ve developed a unique, global perspective, specializing in authentic local experiences. To date, I’ve visited over 40 countries, and some of my most unforgettable adventures include:

  • Climbing Machu Picchu in Peru

  • Traversing Iceland's Ring Road

  • Camping in Wadi Rum Desert, Jordan

  • Experiencing the festive season at Disneyland Paris

  • Attending a Chicago Cubs baseball game in Japan

  • Enjoying a wine-tasting dinner at a Château in Burgundy, France

For over 20 years, I’ve been helping friends and family plan unforgettable trips. Now, as a luxury travel advisor, I’m excited to turn my passion into a profession. With my extensive travel experience, attention to detail, thorough research, and industry connections, I create bespoke, transformative journeys tailored just for you. Let’s start crafting your next adventure!

What Our Clients Say

I didn’t realize what I was missing until I used Kristyn's invaluable services for our getaway to Anguilla! She took care of everything, from booking incredible restaurants to arranging unforgettable activities like night kayaking, where we were lucky enough to encounter turtles and terrapins. The highlight was definitely the beachfront room upgrade she secured for us - we woke up to the sound of the waves and enjoyed breakfast on our private patio overlooking the Caribbean. We are already planning our next trip and consulting with Kristyn again.
