About Me

Europe Specialist River and Ocean Cruise Expert

Since starting my travel business in 2015, I’ve been on a mission to turn dream vacations into reality with a personal touch. I absolutely adore weaving together unforgettable adventures, whether it’s exploring charming corners of Europe, sailing on a serene river, a thrilling ocean cruise, or soaking in the beauty of Alaska, French Polynesia, or Hawaii. From my cozy office in Bakersfield, I get to know my clients like friends, crafting trips that feel like they’re made just for them. I was named Top Agent in 2023 and Top Agency in 2024—it’s a testament to the love I put into every detail. As a Distinctive Voyages Host and a member of Opulence Luxury Travel and Luxury Leaders Alliance, I specialize in creating luxurious getaways, cruises, honeymoons, and destination weddings that tell each family’s story. Being part of the Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce keeps me close to my community, and I bring that warmth and heart to every journey I plan, making sure every moment feels special.

The best belated honeymoon
Reviewed By Eddie and Abby - Bakersfield, CA | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kathi is amazing at helping with every aspect of planning a trip. My husband and I had some thought of where we wanted our next family vacation to be, but Kathi gave us multiple options, answered a million questions for us, and ultimately booked us a dream come true vacation that we will be taking in June. Excursions, airfare, hotels, and airport transportation can all be booked through Kathi. She is amazing at finding the best deals at the lowest price. And if there is a question she might not have an answer to, she spends her time finding it.
Kathleen Lowry responded
"Thank you Abby! It has been so rewarding planning your trips for you and Eddie. I can't wait to hear all about your summer vacation. I look forward to many more trips with you! Your kind words are very appreciated. Sincerely, Kathi"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful and fun!
Reviewed By Courtney - Marina Del Rey, CA | Traveled to
Kathi was amazing! She took all the stress of planning a vacation away. My husband and I are vacationing to Hawaii for our 10 year Anniversary. We have two little ones, and I was feeling overwhelmed at the thought of narrowing down where to stay, and which excursions to do. I got in touch with Kathi, and that overwhelming feeling went away immediately. She did the research for me, sent me just a couple options to see what I liked better, and booked it from there. It was great just having a top two or three to choose from instead of the hundreds of options in Hawaii. Thank you Kathi! We'll be using you again. Can't wait to be sipping my mai tai at Duke's!
Kathleen Lowry responded
"Hawaii is the perfect destination for a romance vacation! Thank you for trusting our agency. We are thrilled that you had a great travel experience. We look forward to many more vacations with your family!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

"...exceeded expectations "
As someone that owns a service oriented business, I rarely find an entity that meets the standards and expectations that I put on my own staff and team members; especially when it comes to being responsive and following through with prompt and proficient communications. Kathleen has both met and exceeded those expectations and I highly recommend her for any and all of your travel plans.
