Hi, I’m Kristy – a lifelong adventurer, science teacher, Christian, mother of three, and the heart behind KBM’s Travel Collective. My passion is bringing families and friends together through meaningful, joy-filled travel experiences they’ll never forget.

Whether it’s soaking up the sun on a cruise ship with my family or laughing with lifelong friends during themed road trips, travel has always been my favorite way to make memories. From the Blues and Boo’s Tour through the Mississippi Delta to our whirlwind Southern Rock Music Tour (eight states in seven days!), my road trips are legendary in our household – and carefully planned down to every quirky roadside attraction.

When we’re not exploring the open road, my husband and I love taking our kids on magical Disney vacations – trips I’ve had the joy of planning from start to finish. Cruises are also a family favorite, offering the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and quality time at sea.

In addition to travel, I teach science part-time at a private Christian school and my husband, Brian, and I own Rickhouse Brewing – a premiere North Texas brewery. These experiences have taught me how to juggle real life with real fun – and how to plan trips that cater to busy schedules, tight budgets, and big dreams.

At KBM’s Journey Collective, I specialize in creating customized travel experiences for families and friend groups. Whether you're dreaming of a girls’ getaway, a multigenerational family cruise, or a memory-making road trip, I’d love to help you design your next adventure with care, creativity, and purpose.

Let’s make your next trip unforgettable – together.
