My Travel Style
I’m always seeking the perfect balance of adventure and luxury, such as camping combined with five-star hotel stays. I love to research and learn about destinations in advance to experience all that a destination has to offer! I am also all about finding amazing travel deals and utilizing travel hacks, such as using a combination of points and membership perks to have the best experience on any budget.

Kara outdid herself on this one. The Sheraton La Jolla was a dream. Beautiful property adorned with gorgeous foliage (not to mention the cute koi pond!) and right next to a convenient shopping center with a Whole Foods and my daughter’s favorite coffee shop, Philz! Also, we felt very safe as the parking lot requires a room key to get inside. Even the walk-in gate to the shopping center is locked from the outside, requiring a room key to allow access. Loved the rooms with the beautiful wooden shutters. Nice to have stair or elevator option. Would definitely use Kara’s services again!

Kara was a joy to work with. She gave us multiple options for our stay and highlighted the features we were looking for in each selection. It was a breeze to book and we got an amazing deal. She listened to all our wants for our vacation and far exceeded our expectations. Will definitely be using her for all future vacation bookings

Kara was great! She was very helpful, ensured we had everything booked with two large dogs and she even asked if there were special adventures we wanted to see. This was a family visit but I will definitely work with her in the future.
