MEET THE TEAM

Kristin Donner

Founder & CCO

About:

Travel Adventure Team (TAT) is the brainchild of LA-based artist Kristin Donner:

“I love to travel! Each new experience fuels my creativity and expands my worldview. The best thing is the community of friends I’ve made along the way.”

Kristin created Travel Adventure Team to share the places she loves with a growing community of friends & explorers — like you!

Travels & Adventures:

Kristin made her first international trip — from California to Austria — at age two and has been craving adventure ever since!

Friends & family ties in Vienna have inspired holiday visits-a-plenty to the world’s best city. Vienna is home to Kristin’s favorite ice cream shops, riverfront sports, and 15+ children’s museums! As a California native, Kristin has traveled throughout The Golden State & currently calls Los Angeles home. Stretching from the mountains to the sea, LA is a multicultural hub — featuring food, art, music & more from around the globe! Kristin shares her favorite insider tips with Travel Adventure Team.

Inspiration:

When you can’t travel, read travel books!

At her local book store, circa 2009, Kristin discovered colorful children’s guide books for popular European cities such as London and Paris … but not Vienna. Recognizing a void in the marketplace, Kristin began generating ideas for her own Vienna travel guide. She filled a notebook with favorite memories from her childhood trips to Vienna and research on the best family-friendly food, art & activities in the historic city center.

Kristin sketched three TAT mascots: brainy Lulu the Lionfish (named after her American Gramma Lucille), zany Marty the Monkey (named after her Austrian Opa Martin), and Dusty the Dragon (who sneezes whenever they smell ancient history nearby … ha-ha-ha-ha-choo!) Before long, Kristin had created her first mini travel guide starring the trio!

Kristin continues to design mini travel guides for an expanding list of destinations and leads tours in her two home bases: Los Angeles, California & Vienna, Austria. Every travel experience is unique and every adventure is an opportunity to make new friends!

Teammates:

Travel Adventure Team collaborates with top notch local service providers, organizations & friends around the globe. Each teammate brings their own unique talents and local expertise to enrich your tour experience.
