Until spending a few days in Pensacola last summer, it had never been on my travel radar. I admit - it exceeded my expectations!

I loved the walkability of Pensacola, the great restaurant choices, and the emerald color of the water! 😎

Are you road tripping this summer? 🚙

Don’t forget to check if your spouse is included as a driver when renting a car (without an extra fee). It varies by company and can be a hidden cost to avoid.

With so many places to experience - it’s rare I want to revisit countries. But these are 5 I’ve gone back to… or will in the future.

Drop me a comment of where you’d travel to again.👇

🇬🇷 The most welcoming people, the history, the Mediterranean Sea… and the BEST food!

🇯🇵 The fascinating culture, the safety/cleanliness factor, the diversity in landscapes, and the best waygu!

🇳🇱 Charming villages, hiking in Limburg, the lakes in Friesland… and my husband’s homeland!

🇺🇸 The geysers, the bison (and wildlife), the scenery, and a paradise for photography!

🇮🇸 The waterfalls, the dramatic landscapes, great road tripping, and friendly people!

Visiting Miyajima Island and Hiroshima makes the perfect day trip from Kyoto. The floating torii gate is a beautiful site, along with getting a glimpse of Japanese island life. Paying our respects at Hiroshima is sobering, but important experience during a visit to Japan.

Bullet train, private driver/tour, or helicopter - I’ll work the best option for you when we plan your trip to Japan. 🇯🇵

There are a few ways you can protect yourself and your travel investment from when a company ceases operations.

Unfortunately I’ve seen it happen overnight and without too much warning, quite a few times during my career in the travel industry.

1. Make sure you pay with a credit card (the discount for an up front cash payment some companies may offer isn’t worth it!).

2. And secondly - insure your trip cost. When working with Travel by Kris - I’ll also help sort this detail. 😎
