About Kristi
Hi, I’m Kristi.
I’ve always loved travel, and over the years I have found myself paying more attention to the things that made a trip especially enjoyable for me.
Those things have changed over time, and sometimes the difference has come down to surprisingly small choices.
The idea for The Confident Explorer grew from what I have learned through my own travels, and from wanting to share some of that in a way that might help others enjoy travel more too.
There is already so much excellent travel information available, and I still learn from it. What I wasn’t finding was something that helped bring it together without adding to the overwhelm, stayed relevant during the trip itself, and helped someone use what they learned to feel more confident about future trips.
I want The Confident Explorer to help people who aren’t yet sure they can travel build the confidence and preparation to take trips they may not have thought were within reach. And for people who already travel, I want it to help them notice the choices, sometimes quite small ones, that can significantly improve how much they enjoy the experience.
Wherever you are in your travel journey, I hope you find something here that helps make travel feel more possible, more enjoyable, or simply a little more your own.
