About Me

Asia Destination Specialist, Family Travel Special

Even before I began working as a travel advisor, I had traveled to China, S. Korea, the Philippines and Hong Kong many times as a volunteer and board member of an international adoption agency. For numerous trips, I was a baby escort delivering children from orphanages into the arms of their adoptive parents. Three of my five children were adopted internationally and I served on the board of directors of the adoption agency for almost 20 years. During this time, I made contacts and created friendships within the international adoption community of both sides of the world Since 1996, I have organized Motherland Tours (also known as Homeland or Heritage Tours) to South Korea for Korean-born adoptees and their families. In 2004, I began organizing Motherland Tours to China and Vietnam. Each Motherland Tour is created to give the adoptee the knowledge they seek about their birth country.

Wonderful tour service
Reviewed By marjay3 - East Meadow, NY | Traveled to China ~ East and Southeast Asia
Kate DeLosso has wonderful contacts in the Far East to make a trip memorable. We used her services to hire a guide and driver for two trips that we took to the Far East. Both times, we had wonderful local people who took excellent care of us. I recommend using Kate to arrange this wonderful service.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Really one of the best trip.
Reviewed By Valda - Upper Chichester | Traveled to South Korea ~ East and Southeast Asia
From beginning to the end of this trip, Kate has been phenomenal. She left no stone unturned while she was putting our trip together. We were kept uptodate on possible changes and offerred alternatives where possible. My family and friends now say that they will only use her for all trips in the future. Can’t wait to plan my 2020 Australian trip with her. She’s the best travel agent I have ever worked with. Best service.

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Rich h. - Bethlehem pa | Traveled to South Korea ~ East and Southeast Asia
This is the third time that we have used Kate. We took a two week cultural tour to South Korea. She spent a lot of time with us understanding what we wanted to do and then crafted a trip that was unbelievable. She handled the tiniest details and ran interference if we ran into the smallest of problems. She is a wonderful person and a great travel agent.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

American River Cruises and Mobility Challenges

The United States is an incredible country and we should go out and see it.  I made a list of the places I’d like to see and started planning.  Because I was fascinated by the small towns across the US, some of the national parks particularly in the West, I focused on how to make these places happen and found American river cruising. Amer...

Strategy and the Mobility Challenged Traveler

I miss those “freewheeling” “let’s just see what happens” kind of trips.  The ones where you start out the day just seeing where it goes – you may have done that kind of trip at one time.  I did.  But not anymore; I need a travel strategy.  Actually I need a life strategy but here I’m focusing on a travel strategy. The strategies could in...

Acceptance and the Mobility Challenged Traveler

Two places in the world that have always captured my attention:  The Blarney Stone and the Taj Mahal.  Yeah, I know pretty disparate interests but these are my places.  Everybody gets to have their own places and these are mine. In my life, I’ve been pretty lucky to see both of these places.  My way of seeing these places is not the same ...

When to Take a Motherland Tour

WHEN the “best” time to take a Motherland Tour is  really two separate issues:  what age and what time of year.Age is really an individual decision.  For younger adoptees, my suggestion is 8 yrs. and older.  By 8 years, an adoptee should be able to handle international travel, understanding what it is they are seeing, accepting culture and new f...
