Meet Krystie — Wildlife Conservationist & Founder

Meet Your Travel Specialist

As a lifelong adventure traveller, mother of two, and wildlife conservationist, Krystie founded Adventure Awaits to help families explore beyond conventional beach packages. Having studied wildlife conservation and working within the environmental sector, she experienced first-hand the worry that adventurous travel stops once you have children. Her journeys proved the opposite: with thoughtful planning and child-friendly pacing, wild places become accessible to explorers of all ages.

Adventure Awaits was created to give children something lasting—memories, curiosity, confidence, and a deep connection to nature. Drawing on professional conservation insight and trusted trade partners, Krystie takes care of the exhausting research and logistics, designing ethical, stress-free journeys that parents and children can treasure together.
