Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristina Raykinstein.
Hi Kristina, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hi, I’m Kristina Raykinstein, founder of KVR Travel Group and a proud Virtuoso luxury travel advisor. I’ve been designing extraordinary journeys for over a decade, helping my clients explore the world in comfort, style, and confidence.
My passion lies in crafting personalized, seamless itineraries — where every detail matters. From Europe’s most charming hotels to private island escapes and once-in-a-lifetime cultural experiences, I take pride in curating trips that reflect each traveler’s dreams and personality.
What truly drives me is connection — getting to know my clients, understanding what inspires them, and creating moments they’ll remember forever. With insider access, trusted global partners, and a perfectionist’s touch, I ensure every journey feels effortless and unforgettable.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it hasn’t been an easy road. The travel industry is full of highs and lows, from clients who didn’t book after countless hours of planning to the heartbreak of COVID cancellations. But every challenge has made me stronger, more resilient, and even more passionate about creating unforgettable journeys for my clients.

If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
Without a doubt, the most important quality behind my success is genuine care. I truly care about my clients, their time, their stories, and the memories they’ll create on every trip. That level of personal investment drives everything I do , from the initial consultation to the smallest welcome amenity waiting in their hotel room.
In luxury travel, details matter , but what matters most is heart. My clients know that I’m in their corner every step of the way, anticipating their needs and treating their travels as if they were my own. That authenticity builds trust, and trust is everything in this business.
Paired with relentless attention to detail, strong relationships, and a deep passion for discovering the world, that genuine care has been the foundation of KVR Travel Group’s growth and the reason so many of my clients return year after year.
