Kristen Gill

Founder & CEO, Kristen Gill Media

I’m Kristen Gill, an award-winning travel writer and photographer with a passion for storytelling that puts people at the heart of every journey. I’ve spent my career exploring the globe—not just to document beautiful places, but to connect with the humans who make those places meaningful. Whether I’m writing features, leading workshops, or collaborating with tourism boards, my focus is always the same: tell authentic stories that inspire, empower, and connect. In this session, I’ll be sharing how we as travel content creators can lean into our humanness to craft stories that truly stick.
