About
A travel obsessed mom addicted to not just researching and planning trips but also figuring out the best way to pack for them.
Travel style
As a mom and travel advisor, I have a passion for planning trips that create memorable and enjoyable experiences for everyone involved, regardless of age. I prioritize unique adventures that allow you to truly experience your destination and all it has to offer as well as comfortable, luxe accommodations where you can relax & recharge after long days of exploring. My ideal trip combines history, nature, adventure and and great food.

Kara's reviews
Planning our 5-year-old’s first trip to Disneyland after not visiting for over 25 years was a bit intimidating, but thankfully, we found Kara! She crafted the most seamless and unforgettable experience for us.

Kara was so enthusiastic about working with us. She customized the trip to our personal preferences and offered a great variety of options for our 10th anniversary trip to truly make it a special getaway. We ended up staying in a beautiful cottage in wine country and using her recommendations for day activities and restaurants. It was such a weight off to have Kara take care of the planning for us!

After Kara gathered information about preferences for our trip, she created an amazing list of itinerary choices for us. That is in addition to finding the perfect lodging that checked all our boxes, dog friendly, clean, and walking distance from Carmel's downtown activities. She was friendly and prompt in response to our questions and was just an overall delight to work with. We can't wait to see what next adventure she will help us experience!
