Kris Rose is a travel writer, editor and former lecturer based in Boise, Idaho




I am a reader, writer, editor, consultant and former Boise State University writing lecturer.
I provide freelance writing and editing services with focuses in travel, culture, education, arts, and lifestyle.
As a researcher and educator on language, writing, and composition, I’ve found that the thing I am most passionate about in writing and life is the prospect of learning.
As a lifelong traveler, I’ve curated a wonderful collection of places, spaces, and destinations that define and inform my style and voice.
I have a diverse portfolio—my writing has covered travel, non-profits, event marketing, art and media reviews, public policy, pedagogy, even neurology—but my life and writing is always connected to and strengthened by my love of the natural world, the outdoors.
So much of the joy and appreciation I have for my home of Boise is connected to the endless opportunities Idaho offers for time shared with nature, wildlife, and beauty.
When I’m not at my desk you can find me hiking the Boise Foothills (when dry), reading contemporary fiction, or the latest work from David Sedaris.
Drive Idaho’s scenic byways for approachable sites with spectacular sights.
