Wander and Pour is destination for people who know life is too short for should haves. Our planning services seamlessly weave travel into your life, so your next getaway is a reality. This is your invitation to play more.

We believe even the most luxurious, elevated plans should always be fun and carefully crafted, where you can tune out the logistics and they seamlessly flow behind the scenes allow you to make the most of the time and money you invest in travel.

Luxury, to us, is being able to get lost in the moment, free from worry, living out what will become a favorite memory.

By the time we launched Wander & Pour Travel, we had gained 15 years of combined experience in the travel industry. Our journey started when we were college roommates. After graduation, Kristin spent seven years with a hospitality and travel company, delving into the intricacies of global travel. Meanwhile, Katie embarked on an adventure in luxury service aboard a yacht, indulging in the opulence of high-end travel. Her passion for catering to elite clientele took off as she transitioned to stewarding private charter planes, catering to celebrities, business executives, and entertainment icons worldwide. She finally planted herself on land, handling event sales at a chic boutique hotel in Marina Del Rey. 

Fast forward, Katie fell for Kristin's husband's brother and we're now sister-in-law's, aunties to each other's toddlers and the pair behind Wander & Pour Travel, operating from both Southern California and New Mexico.

Prior to having kids, we had evolved into the go-to "connectors" for our circle, curating experiences for friends and family. We'd spent many sun-drenched family summers roaming Santa Barbara , fondly dubbed the American Riviera, and contribute the mix of ocean air, endless palm trees and lush mountain backdrop to igniting our passion for planning celebratory travel. It's a perennial favorite for girls' getaways, bachelorette weekends, romantic escapes, or sun-soaked family vacations. 

It's in the moments of travel where we found ourselves with room to breath, to soak in our circle and we felt drawn to help other people do the same. As moms to toddlers, we felt the tug of time and the complexity of adding a few new heads to our travel plans. This understanding is reflected in our client experience and the way we craft travel plans. It's being present that matters most - the time to unwind, soak in who and what's in front of you, rest, evolve, create core memories you won't forget, have fun and lighten life. 

We believe luxurious travel starts with protecting your precious time, well-being, and ensuring every moment exceeds your expectations. Let us take care of the details and your plans unfold with ease. 



Meet Your Travel Designers

Kristin Staats & Katie Staats



 Kristin and Katie have spent over a combined decade working in travel & leisure - for cruiselines and boutique hotels and on charter jets and luxury yachts. After years immersed in travel both professionally and personally, they were left desiring a travel brand that serves as a home for a generation looking to embrace life through travel. It needed to check all the boxes: easy-to-navigate, be a one-stop travel destination, eliminate the piecemeal approach to travel planning, and ooze travel + celebratory inspiration. 

We inspire through beautiful content, completely custom trip planning and pre-event coordination and the discovery of brands that express a travel inspired life. It embodies the togetherness of travel and provides the services, inspiration and products to seamlessly weave travel into busy lives, for milestone celebrations to all the moments in-between.
