Meet Krista

Hi, I'm Krista Schnelle, the founder of Pin The Map LLC and a Certified Travel Professional®. I developed a passion for travel in my 40s, and it changed everything. What began as a few spontaneous getaways quickly turned into a lifelong love of exploring the unexpected. I specialize in off-the-beaten-track adventures for curious travelers who crave something a little different, a little deeper, and a lot more memorable.

When I’m not crafting custom itineraries, you’ll find me working on projects in my charming historic home, hiking with my rescue dog, or snuggling up with my three cats. Whether you're dreaming of a photo safari across the African savannah, boutique hotels by the sea, or immersive cultural encounters, I’m here to help you uncover the kind of travel experiences that spark wonder and leave a lasting imprint.

Let’s chart your next great adventure together.
