Meet Kathy

I’m so glad you’re here because it means you’re in the planning stages of a wonderful trip. I’d be honored to help you with every detail to ensure your experience is seamless and memorable.

As a lifelong learner and avid traveler, I stepped away from a corporate leadership position to focus on the things that matter most to me — including travel and family — and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to empower others to experience the world in meaningful, life-changing ways.

I am a wife to Dan, a mom and stepmom to 7 wonderful adult kids and their significants, and a grandmother. I’ve also been a host mother to 14 international exchange students who each spent an academic year with our family — offering wonderful opportunities to build relationships, learn and explore other cultures. I enjoy reading, live music, volunteering – including as a puppy raiser for a guide dog organization – and discovering new places that are off the beaten path.

As an avid wanderer, I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively across the US, Canada, British Isles, Europe, Scandinavia, Caribbean and Asia, including river and ocean cruises, escorted tours, group travel and independent exploration. I’ve traveled with family, friends and as a solo woman, so I bring those varied experiences to my travel planning.

My goal is to work closely with you to understand your unique travel aspirations and then to design an intentional, immersive journey that reflects your individual pace, personality and budget. By approaching each client relationship with curiosity, care and creativity, I look forward to helping you transform your “trips” into once-in-a-lifetime adventures filled with discovery and lasting memories.
