It Started With a
Toga Party in Rome
At 16 years old, Kristine boarded a plane to France and Italy and discovered something that would shape the rest of her life: the world is extraordinary, and experiencing it changes you. Different cultures, incredible food, and the kind of friendships that only form when you are far from home. She still counts those classmates from New Jersey among her closest friends today. They have traveled the world together many times over the years. One of her fondest memories from that first trip? A toga party in Rome that none of them will ever forget.
That trip planted a seed. Kristine became a certified travel agent while still in college in 1989 and spent years channeling her love of travel in every direction she could. In 2003, she launched her own business. Then in 2007, while working at a Disney Dining call center, something clicked. Surrounded by travel agents every day, she realized her true calling had been right in front of her all along. She spoke with three agency owners, learned everything she could about the industry, and transformed her business into Unlimited Escapes. She has never looked back.
Today Kristine brings more than 17 years of experience as a luxury travel advisor to every itinerary she builds. She approaches every trip she plans the same way she approaches her own vacations: with deep research, genuine excitement, and an obsession with getting every detail right. From the moment a client shares their dream destination to the moment they come home with stories to tell, she is all in.
"I treat your vacation like I'm planning my own," she says. "I come from a close-knit family and that is exactly how I treat my clients. The thrill starts with finding the perfect resort, cruise, or destination. But what really lights me up is hearing about the memories my clients made when they return home."
Kristine travels several times a year to personally inspect properties and stays current through ongoing industry training and the Certified Travel Specialist program. When she recommends a resort, a cruise line, or a destination, she is speaking from experience. She has stood in the lobbies, tested the pools, eaten the food, and walked the streets. Her recommendations are never guesswork. In a strong year she completes up to 20 resort inspections — because knowing a property firsthand is the only way to recommend it with confidence.
