50. Family Fun Planning, Vacationing, Being a Tourist in Your Own City & Budget Friendly Resources with Guest, Kristin Smith

We loved talking with Kristin Smith about traveling, our favorite spots to visit and how to be a tourist in your own city.  Kirstin & her husband love to travel and it has become a passion of hers as they’ve continued to travel and be creative as a family.    Kirstin became a travel agent after realizing her knowledge and experience was attracting her friends and family in order to help them plan specifically for Disney vacations. She loves helping people plan for small trips, staycations and family travel.   We run through a gammet of local attractions as well as those around the KC area.  We also share tips on some great ideas to check near you or the next time you’d like to travel.    Local KC attractions:  CrossRoads First Friday’s Cat Sanctuary Cat Cafe Joco park mom insta Drive through Safari   Other Ideas: National parks (Every Kid Outdoors Program Provides Fourth Grade Students with Free Entrance to Public Lands)  St Louis (The Arch & City Museum are our favorites) Weston, MO Hermon, MO (Missouri Wine Country Bed & Breakfast):   Broken Bow, OK Omaha (Zoo, College World Series)  Tulsa, OK The Gathering Place   HGTV spots across the country:  Waco, TX Magnolia Farms Laurel, Mississippi with Ben & Erin Indy Two Chicks and a Hammer     1,000 hour outdoor challenge  Geocaching   If you’re flexible:  Last minute deals: check airfare last minute  Hoteltonight.com Southwest Airlines tip: if the flight you are on is cheaper than the one you originally booked, you can rebook the same flight and get a travel credit for a future flight.    Search for last minute cruise deals…gotta fill the boat.   Working with Kristin is completely FREE!  She works with the most incredible brands and the agents are taken care of by these brands.  She also works with beach properties, cruise lines, all inclusives, etc. Most feel like working with a travel agent would be an extra cost to the customer, but it is not…it’s a huge benefit and not only a time saver but a penny saver too.    You can find Kristin here: @KristinMOMT [email protected] Viator     Join our community on Facebook and connect with us on Instagram!  Write an apple review and YOUR review could be read on our next episode!  Hosted by Tori Shirah and Tracy Stine Contact us ➡️ [email protected]
