Kristine Mascione

About the Founder

Kristine's love for travel has been a lifelong adventure. In her single days, she would gallivant all over the world every chance she got, exploring almost 50 countries. These experiences shaped her and led her to an unexpected journey of creating Vondern.

After years of solo travel, Kristine found her travel partner in her husband Kevin and they ventured on a yearlong honeymoon through 28 countries. The constant googling of “top 10 things to do” on their trip sparked the idea for Vondern.

Fast forward to becoming a mom, her adventures look a little different. Now she's appreciating local beauty and exploring places near her home while cruising in her “cool” minivan. While the spontaneous days of jet-setting might be on hold for a bit, experiencing the world locally through the eyes of her kids is priceless.
