About Us
Experience the World with a Trusted Expert by Your Side
I’m Patti Kirst, founder and owner of Krystal Travel. My journey into travel began long before I became a professional travel counselor—it started with a deep love of exploration and cultural discovery.
As a retired U.S. Air Force officer, I was fortunate to live in Germany, Turkey, Japan, and Taiwan, immersing myself in different traditions and ways of life. After retiring from military service, my husband and I set off on a new adventure—traveling across 49 states in our RV, visiting countless national and state parks, and deepening our appreciation for the beauty of our world.
