PR & Media

Welcome! 🙂

This is where you’ll find out all about where Kristin and Bon Touriste have worked (please see my Portfolio page for a list of my creds and bylines!). When we work together, you’re getting a hungry writer who loves nothing more than creating beautiful and inspiring stories. All of my collaborations come with snazzy publication reports six months after the partnership and/or media event.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Media Collaborations/Partnerships, or, Amazing Companies I Love Working With

As an independent writer and blogger, I am always willing and excited to work with tourism bureaus, nonprofits, and travel organizations. My schedule allows me to be relatively flexible in terms of when I can travel, but summer and winter travel are typically when I am most available. However, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in partnering with me or would like a personalized recommendation from one of my previous partners.

Some of my recent press trips include:
