Kristin Addis

Kristin Addis, originally from Torrance, California, began her career as an investment banker. In 2012, she left her banking profession, sold her belongings, and embarked on a journey of solo travel across Asia. This pivotal decision led to the creation of Be My Travel Muse, which rapidly grew into one of the most-read women’s travel blogs globally. Her platform focuses on empowering women through solo travel, offering detailed guides, travel deals, and insights into miles and points programs.

Over the years, Kristin has expanded Be My Travel Muse into a comprehensive resource for adventurous female travelers. She provides insider knowledge on destinations, practical advice on budgeting through methods like eating street food and staying in hostels, and emphasizes engaging with local cultures. Her content includes extensive guides on destinations for solo female travelers, packing tips, and discussions on travel gear, establishing her as an authority in the niche of independent and solo female adventure travel.

Kristin’s work extends beyond blogging; she is recognized as a travel content creator, strategist, and business leader with expertise in digital media, affiliate marketing, and audience growth. She has consistently demonstrated a commitment to inspiring confidence and self-efficacy in women, advocating that solo travel builds independence and bravery. In addition to her travel blog, she founded Wanderbabe Clothing, an ethically made line of comfortable apparel for women, further diversifying her entrepreneurial ventures.
