My Story

Travel has always been more than just a vacation to me—it's about creating unforgettable experiences and meaningful moments with the people you love most. My personal travel style includes a little bit of everything, which is exactly why I love helping clients plan trips that truly fit their personality, vision, and the vacation vibes they are seeking. I love a great couples' escape, a weekend in the Texas Hill Country, a slow pace, sipping wine, and equally love a night in the big city indulging in fine cuisine and enjoying the energetic city nightlife. However, family and group travel is where my heart truly is—and what ultimately inspired me to become a travel agent.

Some of my favorite memories include surfing in Costa Rica (or attempting to, lol), ziplining and hiking through the jungles of Costa Rica to breathtaking waterfalls, as well as taking in the crisp mountain air and beautiful views while skiing down the slopes in Colorado with my kids.

Whether you're looking for a fully planned itinerary packed with adventure or a laid-back getaway with chill vibes, I love creating personalized, stress-free journeys tailored to each traveler's unique style and preferences. My goal is to make travel feel exciting, seamless, and unforgettable from start to finish.

Because the best trips aren't just about where you go—they're about the memories you make along the way.

Travel Style

My personal travel style is a little bit of everything, which is a great attribute in helping my clients plan trips that truly fit their personality and the vacation vibes they are seeking. However, family/group adventure travel is by far my ultimate personal favorite travel style, and is what ultimately inspired me to become a travel agent. Full itineraries or chill vibes—I love to focus on meaningful, personalized, stress-free journeys that reflect each traveler’s unique style and preferences.

travel to Nashville

22 days ago

My husband and I had been trying to plan a trip to Nashville for almost a year. We both are extremely busy with work and never had the time to devote to checking reviews, prices, etc. on accommodations, activities, flights, etc. We called Karissa and within 24 hours she had everything laid out for us like we were school children. (Which is what we needed) She gave us options based on what we wanted but it was so much easier to choose knowing she had our best interests at heart. She stayed in contact literally up to the hour we were boarding our flight. If we had questions, she was there immediately. She helped make this trip so special and made it happen so fast to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary. (We literally told her we wanted to go on June 23rd and our anniversary was August 13) She had everything ready for us and saved us a TON of money! Next trip, she will definitely be booking for us and all the ones following! We couldn't be happier with her services!

Karissa booked exactly what we needed for our Charlotte trip! Our hotel was perfect! The perfect location, price point, and amenities to make our travel experience more enjoyable. Added bonus, she made sure we had an amazing rooftop bar we could enjoy watching the sunset from! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Karissa for my future trips when visiting my daughter, and for other vacations planned in our future!
