About Me

There is nothing more satisfying than getting to know my clients and planning travel that will exceed expectations!  No detail is left unturned and every vacation is tailored made just for you. 

  • Helping you find the perfect accommodations for wherever your travel compass takes you. Authentic experiences, local flavors, or finding solace (and champagne?) in a cabana by the beach or pool. 
  • Selecting the perfect luxury villa or vacation home so you have the whole place to yourself - as well as prearranging chef service, golf outings, spa services, or any other special event. You can even have your own fireworks display! Perfect for birthday parties, weddings, family reunions, or corporate events.
  • Discovering off the beaten path adventures so you can get up close with the people and places on your list.  Biking, hiking, walking, and rafting - on all seven continents. Adventures can be with a group, private, customized, and will always meet you at your level of fitness and/or expertise. 
  • If the sea is calling, determining the right cruise line for your travel style - ocean, river, or expedition-style journeys.
  • Perhaps you would prefer a private yacht or catamaran. You run the show, dictate the itinerary and even set the menus. Anywhere in the world! 
  • Offering access to premier sporting events (Kentucky Derby, PGA, Super Bowl, Olympics, and more) -- or maybe you don't want to be on the sidelines; Get in the driver seat of a supercar in Tuscany. I will detail the complete experience. 
  • Need a private jet or air charter to get you there, I have that covered for you too.
  • Singles, Couples, Families, Multi-generation, Corporate Incentives and Off-sites  - there's a reason to travel.


We live in a fast-paced world, so having a travel advisor on your side to navigate the planning is more important than ever. When booking your vacation with me, you will receive personalized and professional service. The world really is your oyster, and I want to open the door for you to see it all!

Disney fun (Disney World and Disneyland)
Reviewed By Susan - St. Louis, MO | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Karen was absolutely amazing to work with. From providing options to choose from to answering my countless questions, I could ask for more. Our trip was so fun, we booked an other one with her just a few months later! She was so fun to work with both planning and during the trip as we had questions.

Fun and Knowledgeable Agent!
Reviewed By Liz - Charleston, SC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Our Disney trip went far beyond our expectations! Karen booked the perfect room at The Polynesian, scheduled our fast passes and character dining, and extra fun along the way. For example, for one dinner she added the special tip of arriving early to watch Cinderella and the Prince descend the staircase and dance. Our daughter was thrilled seeing them up-close. There were more details Karen added to make sure each member of our family had our perfect trip. Karen answered all of my questions quickly, and never made me feel as though I was taking up too much time.
We knew we would want to work with Karen again, so we contacted her about planning a trip to London. She took the time to get to know our vision, and suggested a hotel with a location that was perfect. She was very savvy to find the best prices for both the flight and hotel. Unfortunately our trip had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. Karen worked tirelessly to help us recoup our money and communicated very well along the way.
Karen Kroeter responded
"Thank you so much, Liz! There are so many pieces that go into planning a trip to Walt Disney World, and it makes me so happy that the details came together so wonderfully for your family. I am sorry that COVID caused the cancellation of your London trip, but I am glad it gave us a chance to work together again. I look forward to planning future travels with you again soon! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Invaluable Travel Assistance by Karen!!!
Reviewed By bscanga17 - Mount Pleasant, SC | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Working with Karen was a flawless experience. She not only helped in finding excellent accommodations for us during our trip to Italy but she also was able to find rates that were lower than any we had found searching on our own.
Karen Kroeter responded
"I love hearing that, Brian; thank you! Finding the best possible accommodations for the best possible price is exhilarating - and it's one of the best reasons to use a travel agent! I appreciate your business and hope to help you with many more trips! Thanks again! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
