Travel Testimonials
“Karen was the consummate professional during my company’s recent leadership retreat in the Caribbean.
Her assistance during the planning, execution, and follow-up was exceptional.
Karen’s drive and energy ensured my team had the best trip ever and made me look like a real travel planner with my peers.
I could not have managed this trip on my own, and I appreciate everything Karen did to make this trip memorable for all involved.”

"I literally started to cry when we walked into our room in Sorrento. You told me this trip would be life-changing. You are correct. My heart has exploded.
I am certain you bring much joy to all of your clientele. I can feel your passion for your company and what you do for others.
We walked into our (upgraded) room to a bottle of wine and your beautiful card. Thank you for your lovely details and showering us with love.
You're just wonderful; you make sure every little detail is perfect. We are truly blessed to have found you.
Thank you, Karen, for giving me the courage to step out of my comfort zone. I have no words - THIS IS LIFE CHANGING!"

“You are the best travel contact on the planet. Everything has been so smooth here in Italy.
I really can't compare the places we have stayed because it's almost like traveling to a different world, walking into different places.
This place on the Tuscan Coast is a 10 out of 10. There are a limited amount of rooms/guests. It's a real cliffside paradise for honeymooners. I couldn't be more impressed.
There will be many referrals coming your way.
We appreciate all you do more than this can express."

“Thank you for doing an incredible job organizing the Heller Capital Group Leadership Summit in St. Lucia.
Everything was smooth sailing and hassle-free, with your coordinating over 60 guests coming in from all over the United States to arrive simultaneously, get through customs, and have a stress-free journey to the hotel.
It was precisely that throughout the stay.
Your hard work and attention to detail made this trip to paradise even more heavenly for everyone.
I Iook forward to our next big adventure!!"

“Karen nailed it. She paid attention to every detail. The flow couldn’t have fit our family better.
Each accommodation was perfect for where we were on the trip and suited our family very well.
She recommended where we stayed and how many rooms to reserve and provided options for the room layout.
She booked our flights, rooms, and rental car and recommended “must-see” vacation spots.
Because of Karen’s diligence and knowledge of what to do, our experience was easy. (For example, we had no idea we would need a national park pass to enter Yosemite AND reserve time at Yosemite seven days before we intended to be there. We entered the park with ease.)
Karen is knowledgeable, conscientious, and detail-oriented, and she understands that to have a successful vacation, planning is a must.
She takes the pressure off so you can enjoy your time with your family."
