1.) What experience and skills do you bring to clients of Good Neighbor, and how does it help non-profits, charities and individual travelers?

As a life-long international traveler, I can relate to most situations our customers will find themselves in! Both my growing up overseas and my administrative experience lend themselves to helping with any challenges that come up.

 

2.) What does “Good Neighbor Insurance” mean to you?

I think travel planning is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Good Neighbor is the friend who walks up next to you and sees where the piece goes that has you stumped. We help people put two of the most important pieces in to their puzzle: Safety & Protection

 

3.) So Kristi, you mentioned growing up overseas…What did you like about it and what has it taught you?

I grew up in Papua New Guinea and most of my travel has been in the South Pacific. PNG taught me to expect the unexpected and to plan for plans to change!

 

4.) Your Bucket List: What are the next three places you’d like to go, or things you’d like to do, if money were no object?

Papua New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Papua New Guinea! I always want to “go home” whenever possible. But I also have a lifelong love for Australia, and a desire to visit South Korea during Cherry Blossom season.

 

5.) Tell us your best travel tip, or expatriate advice, to help those new to traveling or living overseas:

Always be really early. It’s so much better to sit around waiting at the airport than to be stuck in unexpected traffic or standing at a counter dealing with a last-minute issue. Oh, and talk to people! You might make a friend for life.
