Kris Bailey was born somewhere between the tumbleweeds and tennis courts of an Oklahoma suburb. Inspired by the stories of a young adventurer with a french accent and a cheap wooden guitar, Kris ran home from school one day and announced that she was going to live in Europe. Eight months later, wearing a cowboy hat and white bell-bottom jeans, Kris boarded a DC-10 bound for Brussels. She was fifteen years old.

Since then, her bags have grown smaller, the weeds have grown taller, and her road-less-traveled has grown longer. In between travels, Kris lives and works in northern California. A long time meditation practitioner and student of the Diamond Approach with A.H. Almaas, Kris has practiced and taught mediation and yoga in monasteries and retreat centers throughout the US, India and SE Asia. She loves exploring remote regions and at-risk cultures, and is passionate about supporting and empowering women and children in developing areas.
