LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
My name is Kristin and I am the CEO, Lead Travel Advisor, Retreat Leader, and Retreat Planner at EcoBound Travel.
I have always been an avid traveler, adventurer, healthy lifestyle advocate, encourager, teacher, and life-long learner. I believe in always growing and evolving.
My love of nature began a long time ago and led me to pursue my degree in Environmental Science and then into teaching science for 10 years to high school and middle school students. On the weekends and every holiday, you can find me hiking, paddle boarding, exploring, kayaking, biking, or any other outdoor activity!
Healthy living is a lifestyle for me and I recently received my Yoga Teacher Certification so I can share this beautiful art with others.
I love trying new things, adventures, traveling to new places, experiencing culture like a local. From hiking in Acadia National Park, chasing remote waterfalls, taking a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon, swimming with sea turtles in Mexico, solo camping in the National Forests, cave spelunking, white water rafting in Colorado….. I am always willing to have an adventure.
Even more so, I love sharing those experiences with others. I want women to know they are capable of doing hard things and seeing all of the beauty this world has to offer.
Oh, and I love a good strong cup of coffee in the quiet morning and a bit of dark chocolate any time of day!
WHY ECOBOUND TRAVEL + RETREATS WAS FORMED
A few years ago, my family experienced a life-changing event. I slipped into a deep depression, all while trying to make life as normal as possible. It simply wasn’t working.
So we made a move to start over and I began to slowly claw my way back. I went back to the basics. I went back into nature because I understand the power of being outside, grounding yourself in the natural world, healing your mind and soul.
Our world is a non-stop race, always going and going, leading to stress and overwhelm. Every day demands from jobs, kids, unhealthy habits constantly wearing on us. Women are the glue for their families and we very rarely take the time for ourselves. However, it is paramount that we do so.
At EcoBound Travel + Retreats, it is our mission to help women find the perfect eco-inspired retreat tailor made for them, allowing a momentary pause from the everyday stress and a time to restore themselves. Our custom itineraries are designed to encourage women to escape the ordinary, connect with nature, reconnect with their loved ones, feel restored and relaxed, understand their own strength and self-worth, to feel alive again, and return ready to tackle life head on!
