KM European Journeys

KM European Journeys Hi, I’m Kristen, the travel designer behind KM European Journeys — where curated itineraries meet a little bit of magic.

I’m a storyteller at heart and a logistics brain by nature. I blend both to craft journeys that feel effortless, intentional, and dee As the daughter of a Marine, I was able to see the world at an early age! I grew up moving mostly around the East Coast of the US, but had the opportunity to also live in Kailua, Hawaii. Even after settling back in Virginia, my parents afforded me the opportunity to

travel with study abroad programs to Germany and the Netherlands, where I was also able to visit Austria and Belgium. In addition to my experience abroad, I have spent time travelling the United States, having visited National Parks and tourist destinations like Las Vegas, Key West, Atlanta and Nashville along with countless other cities across the United States. Currently, I live in Fredericksburg, Virginia with my husband, 2 school aged children and our 3 dogs. On the weekends you can find us at a soccer or baseball field, cheering on our kids. We enjoy exploring Virginia wineries and trying new recipes on the smoker. With my previous work experience came the expectation of providing my clients with excellent customer service, which remains a priority for me today. My most recent work experience introduced me to the travel industry, which I have truly grown to love. Over the past three years, I have helped numerous clients plan their dream vacations to Canada and across Europe. My work in travel has primarily been focused on customizable travel and ensuring my clients do exactly what they’ve dreamed of, I also have experience booking cruises and guided tours. I joined Sunshine Journeys in April 2024 with the hopes of continuing to make your vacation dreams come true. You will find that I am available and diligent in planning your experiences and will always put your wishes first!

Vienna has been one of the great capitals of the world since the Habsburg Empire. That’s not marketing. That’s just history.

Imperial palaces. World class museums. Coffee houses that have been open since the 1700s. And a classical music scene that invented the genre.

Some cities are built. Vienna was inherited. 👇

Meet Malley, the KM European Journeys Office Manager.

Malley creates more work for me in an already busy day. She spends her days sticking her paws in the printers frequently causing it to jam, blocking the computer screen, stealing my chair or napping.

Effective supervisor? No
Cute as a button? Yes

She doesn’t chase attention. She doesn’t need to.

Ancient city walls. Terracotta rooftops. Water so blue it looks made up. Dubrovnik has been the most beautiful city in the Adriatic for 1,000 years and she knows it.

THAT girl energy — and I can take you there. 👇

Let me tell you a true story about why your travel advisor is worth every penny. 💼✈️

I have clients heading to out of the country in May — a trip we've planned carefully down to the last detail. During a routine check-in call, my client mentioned she'd found a number online for her airline and spoken to a man who promised to refund $496 she'd already paid in upgrade fees, AND book her into first class with bags included — all for just $500.

Now, I already knew that route doesn't offer true first class. So instead of just saying "that doesn't sound right," I asked for the man's name and number and told her I'd call to verify.

I dialed. No airline greeting. Tacky hold music. A man named Michael answered, I started explaining the situation, and — click. He hung up on me.

I called back. This time a woman named Brenda answered. I played dumb and asked if I'd reached a different airline. She quickly said no — it was a travel agency. A quick Google search confirmed what I already suspected: scammers had taken over a hijacked 855 number that was showing up in searches for the airline, promising refunds and upgrades to frustrated travelers.

If my client had called that number back and handed over $500? She would have arrived at the airport with no upgrade, no bags included, and $500 gone. Right at the start of her dream trip.

I'm so glad she trusted her gut enough to call me first. And I'm glad I trusted mine.

Please share this — these scams are more common than you'd think, and they specifically target travelers who are anxious, excited, and Googling. Always verify phone numbers directly through an airline's official website, and when in doubt — call your travel advisor. 🩷

If you're traveling soon:
✈️ Always book directly through the airline's official website (if not with a *trusted* travel advisor)
✈️ Never call a number you Googled — go to the airline's site first
✈️ If something sounds too good to be true, it is
✈️ Work with a travel advisor who can catch these things before they cost you

This is reason #30,498,309 why having a travel advisor in your corner matters. 🙌
