OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Travel For The Intentionally Curious By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor Dear Reader, This issue is dedicated to Chicago. One of my favorite cities in the world. It encompasses all the things I love— great public transit, integration with nature, beautiful architecture, and fantastic food at any budget. I am featuring a trip I planned to Chicago last May, which was a mixture of new and nostalgia for three people who wanted to reconnect with home. Before I forget......

Kristen Fung Travels Travel For The Intentionally Curious By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor This weekend went fast, didn't it Reader, Thank you for supporting my small business by subscribing to my newsletter. I really appreciate it. I hope this issue gives you some inspiration and ideas for places to stay that are out of the norm. When I sat down to write this newsletter, I was scrolling through one of the many feeds I read for travel industry news and came across an infographic...

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Travel For The Intentionally Curious By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor I hope you've been keeping cool this summer Reader! Updating my website took a lot longer than I expected. What I thought were simple changes turned into a Jenga tower of blocks I needed to rebuild completely from scratch. That one week turned into three weeks, but now I have something I am happier with and highlights what I do best. I hope you will check it out. Kristen Fung Travels On my new...

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Travel For The Intentionally Curious By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor Happy summer Reader! When I say I am a travel advisor, the first thing people ask is, “Are people traveling right now?” I know that a lot of the news is scary right now, and there is so much more that we need to think about as travel advisors and as travelers—running out of fuel, being stranded in no-fly zones, and the Hantavirus. For me, people are traveling. Right now, I have clients in Rome &...

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Let's explore the world one museum, and one plate at a time By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor Comment ça vaReader? I made a mistake. It wasn’t the epic Amtrak trip I was supposed to take next. It was a curated list of things to do, see, and eat in New Orleans for a conference weekend I created for one of my favorite clients. How could I have forgotten New Orleans? A city as joyful and musical as the jewel of the south, I can’t believe I skipped it in my memory....

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Travel curation for the intentionally curious By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor Dear Reader, I hope you are surviving winter wherever you are, including the torrential rain of Hawaii, the freezing temps on the upper east coast, and the long days of winter gray that this season brings. Maybe it's time to think of a vacation. A common misconception about working with a travel advisor is that we only work with luxury clients. I want you to know that it isn’t true....

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED A Kristen Fung Travels Newsletter By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Curator Dear Reader, I was talking to a friend who receives my newsletter, and I didn’t realize until she told me that all the Out of Office notices seemed like auto-responses/vacation replies. This might mean people aren't opening this newsletter. Thank you for letting me know. I had never thought of that when I chose this name. You will notice the title change from this point on. If you missed any...

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Let's explore the world one museum, and one plate at a time By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor Dear Reader, I hope you had a fantastic festive season. I’ve spent the last month in Paris, New York, and Canada experiencing some wintery holiday magic. (See some Instagram posts from my trip.) My 2025 was full of bucket-list travel: Palm Springs for Modernism Week, a redo of a pandemic Amtrak Trip—Los Angeles to Portland, a week in Napa & Sonoma, and ending with a...

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Let's explore the world one museum, and one plate at a time By Kristen Fung Certified travel advisor Happy November Reader! This year has flown! I can’t believe that I'm getting ready to sit around the Friendsgiving table. Last month, I awarded two subscribers my travel MVPs. I hope they are getting quality sleep and are saving some room in their suitcases for memorable souvenirs. In fact, I am getting ready to put those MVPs back in use! See information below about an...
