My Travel Story – Journey Across the Globe


My journey as a travel enthusiast began in my thirties during an eye-opening European land tour that spanned seven countries in just two weeks. This transformative experience sparked my deep love for exploring new cultures, sampling exotic cuisines, and connecting with diverse communities. Since then, I’ve traveled extensively across Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, the South Pacific, and Asia — seeking out both popular destinations and off-the-beaten-path treasures.

  • Romantic Getaways – From honeymoons to anniversaries, I create romantic escapes you’ll cherish forever.

  • Family Vacations – Make memories that last with customized family-friendly itineraries.

  • Culinary Travel – Explore the world through its flavors with bespoke culinary tours and experiences.


My extensive knowledge of global destinations, along with years of first-hand experience, allows me to design journeys that match your preferences, budget, and travel goals. Whether you’re seeking a luxurious resort in Saint Lucia, a wine-tasting tour in Europe, or an immerse cultural experience in Asia, I can make it happen.

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
