About us

Born and raised in Port Clinton, Ohio, Kristina Tilson, is the creator, owner and operator of Experience the Peninsula, an online booking service for customizable adventure tours; experience all that Ottawa County has to offer with convenience, safety, and comfort of a Swig Ohio Shuttles. I love it here; I am incredibly blessed in more ways than I can count!!! 

Throughout my life I've promoted my hometown to anyone that would listen to me. My love for hospitality began in my teens as I learned how to anticipate guests' needs by always listening to them; it was a different time, and I was fortunate to have a great foundation. I developed a love for non-profit in my 20s and have been in PR/Community Relations since my 30s. I currently work as a marketing specialist and account manager, helping clients make informed decisions about their promotional spending, while providing opportunities for them to connect with 1000s of new customers on a daily basis. I love connecting people, it's my purpose and I created a platform to do that. I've worn many hats over the years and discovered I have entirely too many talents; it’s my greatest strength and was my great weakness. I am learning to concentrate on my strengths through connection and self-awareness. I believe that everything happens for a reason, the things I've done and the people I've been blessed to have in my life loved me into being here, in this place to create something I can be proud to share with everyone. I created a platform that has the potential to link every Ottawa County business together; we promote one and we promote all. We can all do a small portion to create the larger picture, it makes us stronger as a community. 

My mission: I live each day as intentionally as I can with grace, on my own path, at my own pace for the greater good.
