Meet Kristi
Mom of two, travel industry professional, and frequent flyer with kids.
Hi, I’m Kristi. Because of my husband’s job as a commercial airline pilot, I often find myself traveling alone with our two young kids.
Over time, I’ve learned that family travel is about much more than destinations. It’s airport logistics, transportation plans, hotel stays, stroller decisions, packing systems, and all the invisible details that come with being the only adult handling everything.

I’m so glad you’re here!
