The Virginia Hype Girl: Virginia Travel Blogger, Foodie and Creator


Krystle Kitchen, The Virginia Hype Girl - Virginia Travel and Food Blogger.

Hi, Im Krystle aka “the Virginia Hype Girl”, a lifelong Virginian sharing travel inspiration, foodie spots, and all those spots off the beaten path only the locals talk about in my home state and beyond. As a proud small town resident, I enjoy promoting tourism while showcasing my favorite small businesses and brands. I love Virginia and represented the state as Miss Virginia- National American Miss 2006, and Miss Beautiful International Model 2007 promoting my platform of volunteerism.

I’ve made it my mission to spotlight Virginia’s rich history, picturesque landscapes, and the local businesses that make it all so special. As a travel blogger, creator and food photographer, I share captivating stories that take readers on a journey through new destinations across the East Coast, immersing them in the vibrant flavors, cultural traditions, and unique culinary experiences that define each locale. From fresh seafood caught off our coastal shores to beloved small town shops, my work paints a rich picture and showcases the unforgettable moments that come with each stop.

Every dish has a story, every destination holds a memory, and every small business deserves to be celebrated. My goal is to fuel the wanderlust of my readers, inspiring fellow travelers and food enthusiasts to embark on their own culinary adventures at local restaurants, book that dream getaway, or visit the incredible mom-and-pop businesses that make our communities so special. Let’s embark on a flavorful adventure together. Grab a coffee or tea, get cozy, and explore fresh stories, local favorites, and guides from the road as I live my best life through cuisine and travel!

Supporting the Heart of Virginia

Because I love championing the people and places that make our state great, I often partner with the local businesses that are the heartbeat of our communities. If you run a favorite neighborhood spot, a cozy B&B, or a local shop, I’d love to help you tell your story. I believe in authentic sharing not corporate ads to help more people discover the wonderful things you do.

Ways we can collaborate:

  • Storytelling & Reviews: I love visiting local favorites and sharing my honest experiences with my community of fellow explorers.
  • Photography & Visuals: I can help you capture the real vibe and personality of your business through photos and videos.
  • Social Media Support: If you’re passionate about your business but overwhelmed by the digital side of things, I can help you show up online with confidence.

Let’s talk about your business:
