About Me

One of the many solo explorations to Egypt
One of the many solo explorations to Egypt

Growing up, I loved going to the airport, I knew I was going to be close to the clouds and end up in a beautiful destination. My mother gave me the privileged to adapt and explore her home country, Jamaica, and as a single mom, she worked extremely hard to provide the best childhood experience to make me the young woman I am today. I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. It's the largest multicultural city in Canada, growing up I had many friends from various backgrounds and I've always been so intrigued by their different cultural traditions and of course, The food! As I got older, the wonders of the world took a toll on my curiosity. After doing some classic researching on youtube about solo traveling, I decided to take the leap and go on a month-long solo South Asian trip to 5 different countries without the help of a travel agent ( after becoming an agent I realized that I DEFINITELY could have used an agent who specialized in the area ) but being the brave soul, I realized that I was very good at creating multi-country itineraries without hiccups. I now use my expertise to help other first-time or experienced travelers ease their first-time travel anxieties and build lifelong connections with my clients.

What others have said about Karen

I wanted to go on a quick weekend trip with my friend over the long weekend but I couldn’t find anything to match my budget or availability. Karen was able to find our accommodations and flight for the exact days we wanted. She was very responsive to all our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for our trip. We ended up at a beautiful resort in Jamaica and were well within budget. I don’t think we could have gotten the trip we wanted without her. I will definitely be booking my next trip with her! Karen is extremely knowledgeable and really takes the time to tailor experiences to your needs. I can’t wait for my next vacation with awarding travels. Best experience with a travel agent, ever!
