About Me
About Me
I began Expedition Kristen as a way to share my passion for travel. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy exploring hotspots and hidden gems alike. My blog is mostly focused on Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Midwest travel. I curate thoughtful and detailed travel itineraries on my blog and social media channels.
I have a Master of Science in Marketing, am a certified drone pilot, and have nearly 15 years of marketing communications experience. I have extensive experience working with the media and collaborating with other businesses, such as REI, Rumpl, Discover Stillwater, Merrell, Explore Minnesota, L.L. Bean, Outdoor Voices, Hoka, Iron Flask, Surly Brewing, Lift Bridge Brewing, Minnesota Lottery, and many more!
