I’m Kris Porter!

I love working with clients to make their long-term travel dreams come true! My love for and experience with Europe began when I was only 16—my travel guide grandmother planned an amazing month of exploration for us, and I knew then that travel would forever set my soul on fire.

I joined Travelmation in the late fall of 2019 (I know, great timing!) and spent my first year learning amidst a lot of travel chaos.

My husband is a pastor, and I love helping plan his Bible study trips to Israel and the Middle East. My house is full of life and energy with two boys, three dogs, many fish, one cat, and a bearded dragon named Penelope.

I find joy in traveling and exploring the world, especially the Caribbean, Europe, and my semi-annual trips to visit Walt Disney World (love that mouse!). The majority of my work is focused on bucket list planning and helping clients map out their travels over multiple years.

Stories from My Travelers

  • Perfect Italy Trip

    Kris and Tiffani made our first international trip so memorable and helped ease all of our worries and concerns. They were available to answer all our silly questions before we went and were available along the way to address any and all of our issues and uncertainty having never traveled internationally. They were quick to respond as things came up and lent their expertise to all things big and small! The trip would not have been the same without their unconditional commitment to make everything perfect.

  • Amazing Memories

    Kris arranged a trip for my entire family to go to Israel and it was amazing. The hotels were first rate, the guide was tremendous, and it was all well taken care of. Thanks Kris!

    -Traveler in Hudsonville, MI

  • Hawaiian Paradise

    Kris was exceptional to work with. … Kris was in continuous communication every step of the way; hotel, airfare, excursions, car rental, etc. She was willing to go above and beyond to make sure our trip was incredibly memorable. Even across the ocean and- a 6 hour time difference when we called, she was there and ready to answer our questions. We would highly recommend Kris for all your vacation/travel plans.
