About Me

Mexico
Mexico

I specialize in creating custom travel experiences that deepen connection—to people, places, and the world.

What I Specialize In

I specialize in destination weddings, honeymoons, beach vacations, couples’ trips, birthday trips, escorted group tours, and family getaways. I work with couples, families, groups, and solo travelers who want a stress-free planning experience from someone who helps them feel safe, supported, and cared for along the way. I handle all the details, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy your trip.

Destinations I Specialize In

Beach Destinations:I focus on beach destinations—especially Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Florida. Cancun/Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, Punta Cana, St. Lucia, Maui, Kauai, and Oahu are just a few of the places I help travelers experience.

How I Work With Clients

My process is built around clarity, communication, and supporting clients from start to finish. I begin by learning what matters most to you—what feels right for your travel style and the kind of experience you want to create. From there, I share the options that make the most sense for your style and expectations in a way that keeps everything straightforward and stress-free. You’ll never be left guessing; you’ll always feel supported and prepared at every step.

Experience & Credentials

With a background in healthcare, food service, and over a decade in hospitality, I bring a unique level of connection and care to the travel planning experience. I’m a Certified Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Expert, Certified Groups Expert, and Certified Travel Advisor. I continue my education daily through destination trainings, resort workshops, firsthand site visits, and ongoing conversations with local experts. I stay up to date on destination changes and industry standards so you always receive current, reliable recommendations backed by real expertise.

A: Yes. Alaska is one of my bucket-list specialties. I can build a seamless experience that combines a family-friendly cruise with land excursions, guided tours, and activities that work for all ages.

Getaway
Reviewed By Avni - Lansing, MI | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
I highly recommend Katie’s services! My husband and I had a great winter getaway to Punta Cana for a great price. She worked hard to ensure we had a dream vacation (We changed our minds a few times too and she was very patient and accommodating). She was very organized, easy to get a hold of and took the stress away from planning the trip because everything was arranged and she followed up during our travels to make sure everything was going smoothly. She made sure we were satisfied and we definitely were. Can’t wait for you to plan our next trip! Thanks for everything Katie!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Winter Getaway
Reviewed By Andrea - Williston, ND | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Katie did a great job for my winter getaway! The resort was beautiful and a great value for the money compared to places I’ve booked independently on other trips. She got cheaper airfare through her connections to leave locally than I could get by driving to Minot! She has the connections and made the planning and choices stress-free. Wow- I couldn’t even mess up the details when I got there because all her directions were so clear and pre-arranged! What an incredible service at no cost to me! Katie did a great job! I highly recommend using a travel agent- and use Katie’s Travel! 5 Stars!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Healing Vacation
Reviewed By Bethany - Lisbon, ND | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Not only did Katie suggest the PERFECT location for my solo getaway, she made it the easiest thing I've done all year. Having gone through a tough time lately, I requested a place with a spa. The resort had one right within the hotel AND Katie even got me a gift credit for a massage. Thank you so much for helping me get away, Katie. It was a glorious and much needed trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
