Hi. Kristina here. I love being a Google Guide Level 7. It all started out with a review of a restaurant across the street from where I was living. I’d been using Google Guides but had never written a review. I wanted to help people find the best of the best while helping them avoid the best of the worst!
After that 1st review, so long ago, I became a dedicated Guide, taking photos, answering questions & providing reviews when I have pertinent information or hints for a good experience.
I have a fear of heights, a lover of , diving, good food, memorable experiences, travel and meeting new people (even though I’m a classic introvert!). The world has so many beautifully stunning people and places. I traveled extensively in my early teens, lived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Boston, Ma, Middleburg, Va, Austin, Tx & now in Houston, Tx. Living in the Kingdom during such formative years really opened up my world view on culture, religion, people, food, music, architecture, the natural world (the sand dunes are amazing! Some are over 100 feet high and house an unexpected plethora of deadly creatures). Before moving to Saudi, my mother & I traveled throughout northern Europe. During our stay in Saudi, we vacationed for weeks at a time in Greece, Italy & Bahrain. The travelling through Asia, India & southern Europe Really changed me. Maybe it was coming out of a world trapped in time or maybe it was just because my experiences in India & Asia exposed me to spirituality practices rather than religion, but India changed my world forever.
My next life-altering experience was deep ocean diving! I still haven’t mustered the courage to night dive but I feel it coming.
I love nature, camping, animals; I find them all so relaxing. When I’m in nature I am home. I am in flow.
I will continue to keeping guiding people to the best and away from the worst with love & light.
Namasté,
Kristina
