REAL FAMILY TRAVEL, PRACTICAL LOGISTICS
Meet Kristi
Hi, I’m Kristi. I’m a mom of two, a former Disney Cast Member, and a longtime traveler with a background in hotels, airports, and travel planning.
My husband is a commercial airline pilot, which means I often travel as the only adult with our two kids. Because of that, I’ve had to get very familiar with the logistics that make family travel work in real life.
Over time, I’ve learned that family travel is about much more than destinations. It’s airport days, transportation plans, hotel rooms, stroller decisions, packing systems, car seats, meals, meltdowns, and all the little details that shape how a trip actually feels.
Fairytale Travel Guide is where I share the practical systems, honest advice, and real-life lessons that have helped make travel with kids feel more manageable for our family, and hopefully for yours too.
I’m so glad you’re here!
