Krista Friar
Travel Advisor in Seattle, WA
Hello, I’m Krista. My first memories of traveling were as “tin can tourists” at KOA Camps in the family station wagon. I graduated to guided international tours(student, religious, and other), SCUBA trips, cruises on both oceans & rivers, and building my own itineraries. At this time, I have traveled in 4 of the 7 continents. I love to explore both new and familiar places. I enjoy learning about the history and cultural significance of an area, as well as taking in the beauty of the architecture, museums, landmarks, and the natural world. I would love to plan the trip you always dreamed of taking.

Krista Friar has been extremely helpful in planning our trip to Australia. We didn’t know where to start and she took care of us.

Travel Byrds 👍👍👍👍👍. Krista Friar is who I had the pleasure of working with on my cruise/vacation to Australia and Singapore. Krista worked endlessly with the Singapore airlines with regard to getting my motorized scooter approved…..booked great hotels in Sydney and Singapore along with tours and transportation and everything went like a well greased machine…. No hiccup! This was my first time using Krista but will definitely not be the last…..THANK YOU KRISTA

Krista Friar planned some great outings for me and a friend in Iceland and Germany. After asking us about what we wanted to see, she booked us for sightseeing and lodging. Some highlights included waterfalls and black sand beach on the south coast of Iceland. In Germany, we enjoyed museums and historical sites. I would welcome her again on my next trip planning team.

Krista planned a trip to Disneyland for our family. She met with us frequently to ensure she captured all of our requirements. It ended up being a really nice trip with a stay at a nice hotel with a lovely view of the park, and special surprises for our son’s birthday.

Krista Friar was available and responsive when we had questions after arriving in Sydney. We had wonderful accommodations while in Sydney and Melbourne.

Krista is excellent to work with! She helped our family plan an amazing trip to Disney World during the 100 year celebration and food and Wine festival. With her help we were able to get light saber and droid reservations! She also went above and beyond to make sure we got the most amazing meal reservations! Boma, Cinderella’s castle, Oga’s Cantina, and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall just to name a few. We stayed on property at Art of animation, which is right next to the skyliner making it convenient to travel between the resort and parks. She also walked us through how to utilize Genie+ and lighting lane. As a result we were able to get Tron and Guardian’s of the Galaxy twice during our trip! Krista has extensive knowledge on how to plan out a day at Disney! She helped our family with everything from resort reservations, park tickets, meal reservations, lightning lane reservations, Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party tickets, and transportation to and from the airport. Highly recommend Krista from the Travel Byrds! We will definitely utilize her for future trips to Disney and beyond!
