Trista grew up amidst the breathtaking landscapes and high adventure of Steamboat Springs, Colorado—“Ski Town USA.” With family roots in Europe, she was immersed in European traditions from an early age, cultivating a lifelong passion for culture, discovery, and the joy of exploring new places.
For her, travel is not just a profession but a way of life—her two young children have already explored more than 25 countries, and together they spend summers in Spain. It is an ongoing pursuit of discovery, connection, and adventure, while previewing the latest and most exclusive experiences to share with her clients.
As a Luxury Travel Designer at Videre Travel, Trista draws on her global expertise and discerning eye for detail to craft journeys that are as seamless as they are extraordinary. Through her worldwide network of trusted partners, she unlocks exclusive access and curates bespoke itineraries defined by precision, authenticity, and inspiration—helping clients fall in love with destinations in a way that feels both elevated and deeply personal, and ensuring every journey becomes a collection of cherished, lifelong memories.

Each destination holds a special memory, but the moments I treasure most are those spent discovering the world with my children—and deeply connecting with locals along the way. From boarding the Polar Express in Lapland, Finland to meet Santa, to watching my kids learn to water ski along the French Riviera where the sport was born, our travels have been filled with magic and discovery. Summers in Spain bring cliff-jumping adventures in Mallorca, while Greece offers the warmth of philoxenia and laughter shared over raki with Santorini potter Andreas Makaris. Each journey reminds me that travel isn’t just about where we go, but how deeply we experience and connect with the world around us.
