Darlene Hawley
Listen to the Podcast

Meet Krysten, she currently is on the ground in Ukraine supporting the community and sharing stories of what is happening. Listen to her story and support her as she continues bring awareness to the war in Ukraine.

Krysten Kaladkarin is a full-time traveler and content creator who is currently on a mission hike and hitchhike the world solo, unassisted and with her Philippine passport (which isn’t very strong!).  A storyteller at heart, Krysten presents testaments of kindness across her social media platforms, proving that regardless of age, gender, race, religion, sexuality or ability, humanity is tied together by similar strings of solidarity.  Combining her passion for advocacy and adventure, Krysten also raises awareness on sociopolitical issues relevant to the travel industry and to the countries that she visits.  Women empowerment, sustainable adventure and accessible travel are just some of the causes her platform focuses on.  Her goal is to revolutionize the way we travel by teaching people to become more responsible explorers and by giving back to the local communities that she comes across.
