About Me

River,OceanCruising,ThemeParks,Caribbean specalist

I'm a travel planner specializing in stress-free, memory-making vacations! I’ve helped families experience the magic of Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Orlando, as well as unwind on ocean cruises and soak up the sun at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, and the Dominican Republic. I also am knowledgeable about European river cruising and have experienced it myself. I handle every detail—from accommodations and transportation to activities —so families can enjoy stress-free, customized trips they’ll never forget. Whether you’re looking for thrills at a theme park or a relaxing beachfront escape, or sailing on the ocean or a river, I create personalized travel itineraries that suit your family's needs, interests, and budget.

Another amazing adventure
Reviewed By Tchan - Longview, Texas | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Karen has planned several trips for our family. This includes Disney, Universal, All-Inclusive getaways, Caribbean Cruises, a European cruise and 2 trips to Mexico. Her knowledge, professionalism, courteousness and attention to detail are top notch. I turn to her for all of my travel needs. Not only does she book the trip, but she also helps plan excursions, lines up transfers and transportation needs, is in contact on the day or evening before travel, is available during the trip and follows up when it is time to return. Our family is so thankful for the wonderful adventures we have been able to go on with Karen's planning and expertise. In fact, my husband and I have a Rhine River cruise planned with her in April. I have no doubt I will have everything I need for another exciting adventure!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Partyof9 - Chapin, SC | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
We are beyond grateful for the incredible week we were able to spend on the Carnival Mardi Gras, all thanks to Karen! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience for our whole family. The ship itself is amazing and has so much to do, beautiful spaces, great entertainment, and something for every age. What truly made the trip special was the opportunity to relax, reconnect, and make lasting family memories.

    Experiencing Greece

    In July of 2022, I was lucky enough to travel to Greece right as the world was opening back up.  After spending a few wonderful days in Athens, I boarded a small Greece owned cruise ship owned by Celestyal Cruise Lines and sailed off to other Greek islands.  The unique thing about this cruise line is that it was port intensive, meaning we had no...
