Kristen moved down from Maryland in 2013 to enjoy the beach life and mild climate of Myrtle Beach, and to study at Coastal Carolina University. She has now worked at MGA Travel for six years and is a Travel Agent as well as our General Manager. She enjoys taking the worry and complexity out of travel and helping guests book their next bucket-list destination. She will listen to guest's needs and help steer them in the right direction, avoiding the "analysis paralysis" that can result from finding too much information online! Specializing in leisure and luxury travel, Kristen will find the best value with the most inclusions. She hosts several groups each year with departures available through 2028. From river & ocean cruises to escorted group & private custom land tours around the world, she will be happy to help you plan your next adventure.
Luxury Leaders Alliance (LLA) in Las Vegas, 2025
With a lifelong love of the outdoors, Kristen enjoys swimming, biking, kayaking, and setting up her hammock wherever two trees allow. She purchased her first home in 2024 (with help from Kelly Graham!) and enjoys watching all the birds and other wildlife out the back window. Some of her favorite places to visit or book are Italy, France, Tanzania, Costa Rica, and of course the Caribbean. Her favorite memories include getting lost in Vienna & also eating lots of pastries and gnocchi, riding ATVs with her sister in St. Kitts, everything about Regent Grandeur, counting castles from the Rhine River, the beautiful architecture and art of Rome & Florence, getting Thai food at London's Borough Market, the Arte Museum Las Vegas, and so much more. She is a foodie who enjoys trying new dishes and learning about regional cuisine. A few fun facts: --> If you visit our office, you may meet Zorro the bunny, who sometimes comes to work with Kristen to oversee operations & bunstruction projects, give visitors a nose "boop" and mostly nap under the desk. Zorro has a new roommate named Maggie. They are still learning how to be friends...stay tuned. --> Kristen is an aerial silks performer! What began as a lark intro class four years ago has become a passion. She even got to take a class at the Circus Training Center in Las Vegas. --> She currently has a 1,589 day streak on Duolingo, and is always happy to have new Duo friends @Kristen981308.
