Meet Krista

Hi, I’m Krista — your guide to the unexpected.

I’m the founder of Pin The Map LLC and a Certified Travel Professional® who fell in love with travel in my 40s - proof that it’s never too late to start exploring. What began as a few spontaneous getaways quickly turned into a full-blown passion for discovering the world’s hidden corners and uncommon experiences.

Today, I create custom adventures for curious travelers who crave something a little different, a little deeper, and a lot more memorable. My itineraries are crafted for those who’d rather wander off the main road than follow the tour bus — the ones who chase moments that make you say “wow, I’ll never forget this.”

When I’m not planning your next great escape, you’ll probably find me restoring my charming old house, hiking with my rescue dog, or trying to read while my three cats demand attention.

Whether you’re dreaming of safari sunsets in Kenya, seaside hideaways in Mexico, or a journey that surprises you in all the right ways, I’m here to help you map it out - with a twist of the unexpected.

Let’s chart your next great adventure together.
