WHAT WE TEACH
Safe Travels Training is your guide to keeping you and your possessions secure. It does not focus on specific country “must-sees”, but instead teaches specific habits of security so that you can enjoy your international experience with less worry and distraction.
Safe Travels Training is also not a lecture. It is interactive, with hands-on activities to get you thinking and problem-solving. This active-learning approach will help you remember & recall crucial information under potentially stressful circumstances.

MEET YOUR TRAINER
Kristy Flanders has a BA in International Relations and has worked as a professional educator for more than 10 years. Born and raised in the exotic state of Idaho, she has lived and traveled around the world, from Asia and the Pacific to Europe and South America. She speaks Spanish, was once semi-fluent in French, and can say “Are you getting off the bus?” in Russian. She loves connecting with people and experiencing new cultures.
Kristy went on her first international adventure as a young college student in 2002. After reflecting on how little she was prepared for that and many subsequent trips, she developed “Safe Travels Training” as a way to guide travelers through the potentially risky elements of international travel.
REVIEWS
“Kristy is a fantastic teacher! She has a solid understanding of cultural values and beliefs, and is an excellent resource to help others learn more about being safe and respectful world citizens.” –Jen C.
“The sign of a good lesson is not the lesson at all, but when the group is so energized that you can’t get to all the people whose hands are up. Kristy truly does have a way of engaging her audience, and that is a gift. Anyone can learn to teach, but not everyone can captivate the crowd!” –Toni G.
“Kristy is thoroughly prepared for every class, with a curriculum developed to the needs and interests of her students. She is a confident, caring, creative instructor and an effective communicator. I would highly recommend Kristy as one of the best instructors I’ve had the pleasure of working with.” –Rachel B.
