Escape the Ordinary with Kristin Escapes!

Welcome, curious travel enthusiasts! I’m Kristin, a Las Vegas-based travel writer and blogger with a serious case of wanderlust! Beyond the typical tourist experience, I crave to delve deeper and uncover the fascinating stories behind the scenes.

Fueled by curiosity and chocolate milkshakes, I seek out unique adventures – think exclusive tours, historical insights, and local secrets. Why merely visit the Waterford Crystal Store when you can tour the factory, witness the artistry of molten crystal shaping, and learn about the meticulous craft behind a crystal cutter’s eight-year apprenticeship? Why just watch a Las Vegas Raiders game when you can go backstage, visit the locker rooms, and learn how they keep the turf so lush in the middle of the Mohave?

Every destination, whether iconic and “touristy” or an unknown gem, holds a hidden story waiting to be discovered.  Join me as we explore the wonders that breathe life into a place, from time-honored traditions to new technologies.
