About

A teacher and mother of two, whose favorite past-time is researching the next adventure.

Travel style

I get a huge thrill out of scoring an impossible-to-get dinner reservation, matching travelers with the perfect destination and researching services for family members with autism or other special needs. From kayaking the bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico to picnicking by the Eiffel Tower, my passion is curating unforgettable experiences.

Catherine 's reviews

Katherine was very responsive and really understood what would make the trip great for our family. She chose great hotels we would not have likely found on our own. She arranged our transportation which was really smooth and easy. This was our second time working with Catherine and we would definitely do so again.

Catherine is an outstanding travel advisor. She took the time to listen to our unique needs (we traveled with 5 kids of varied ages and stages), and helped us find just the right room configurations for our large family. She is professional, detail-oriented, wise, and a true joy to work with.

Catherine was wonderfully helpful and really responsive. It was great that she checked in with us after we booked and let the hotels know when we were arriving, etc. I've already recommended her to another friend and we will definitely contact her in the future!
