Music, Travel, and Unexpected Adventures
Of course, music remains a central passion for Kristin.

And then there’s the travel bug. Kristin dreams of exploring more of the world, immersing herself in different cultures, and finding inspiration in unexpected places. “I’d love to go to South America, experience the music and the art,” she shared. “And I’ve always wanted to see the Northern Lights – that's definitely on the list!”
