My Story


My love affair with travel ignited in my thirties during a transformative land tour across seven European countries in just two weeks.

My deep knowledge of global destinations enables me to recommend unique experiences and accommodations tailored to your preferences and budget. I continuously enhance my expertise through professional courses, earning designations as a Destination Specialist in areas like Europe, Hawaii, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Disney Travel. Leveraging my first-hand travel experiences and strong relationships with preferred suppliers, I confidently craft the perfect itinerary, featuring prestigious partners such as Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Am Waterways, Virgin Voyages, and reputable land tour operators like Collette, Insight Vacations, Trafalgar, and Globus.

I believe in building meaningful relationships with my clients, understanding their unique needs, and ensuring that every detail of their trip is flawlessly executed. From the moment you reach out to me until you return home, I’m dedicated to providing unparalleled support, expert advice, and personalized service.

This was my first trip alone and Katherine was very helpful in easing both mine and my parents stress and ensuring that I had the best time by making sure all the little things were checked off. She regularly checked in with me while on my trip to make sure it was going smoothly and was genuinely interested in where I went and what we did that day and answered multiple questions in the days leading up to departure.

Katherine was over the top when it came to excellence . She was very attentive to everyones needs (there were 10 of us) and strived to accommodate everyones special requests. She sent us on our way with a travel guide and a few extra treats, kept in touch with us during our stay at one of her recommended resorts- the Luxury Grand Bahai Principe, and followed up after the vacation to ensure everything went as planned. Excellent service-Thank you Katherine
