My Story

My love for travel started early — my first trip to Europe at 13 sparked a lifelong passion for exploring the world. Since then, I’ve lived in Japan and Germany, visited 24 countries (and counting) and developed an obsession with travel planning, culture, languages and, of course, food. Now based in New York City, I channel my meticulous attention to detail into crafting seamless, unforgettable travel experiences for my clients. I specialize in luxury travel and group celebrations, from milestone birthdays in Tuscany to anniversary getaways in Paris. Whether you're looking for a perfectly orchestrated honeymoon or an effortlessly chic bachelorette weekend, I ensure every detail — from the flights and hotels to the best tables in town — is thoughtfully curated to your travel style.

Travel Style

No two trips should be the same, and I take the time to understand how my clients like to experience a destination. Whether they prefer a loose, relaxing itinerary, a structured, adventure-filled plan or something in between, I tailor each trip to strike the perfect balance of spontaneity and seamless planning. As a passionate foodie, I often build itineraries around incredible dining experiences, always securing the best tables — from Michelin-starred restaurants to local hidden gems. Whether you're looking for a relaxing escape, a thoughtfully curated itinerary or a milestone celebration, I handle every detail so you can simply enjoy the journey.

travel to New York

A huge part of what made this stay so seamless and enjoyable was our Travel Advisor, Katie. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of and made the entire experience feel personalized and stress-free. Katie was incredibly informative, thoughtful, and always available to answer any questions I had — whether it was about the hotel, activities around the city, or restaurant recommendations in New York. Her guidance made planning so much easier and helped us make the most of our time.

I would absolutely recommend booking with Katie if you’re planning a stay at the William Vale or visiting New York in general. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly made all the difference. I’m so grateful for all of her help and I will definitely continue working with her for future trips.

Working with Katie Kinney as our travel agent was such a seamless and enjoyable experience. She was incredibly easy to work with and made the entire planning process feel effortless. What stood out most was how detail-oriented she was. Every aspect of the trip was thoughtfully organized and clearly communicated.

I especially appreciated the timeline she provided. It gave me a clear picture of what to expect and when, which really took the stress out of planning. As someone who genuinely enjoys being involved in the planning process, I loved that Katie was able to collaborate with me while still bringing her expertise and structure to the table.

One of the things we loved most was how perfectly she planned our time in Tokyo. Everything we wanted to do was conveniently nearby, which made exploring so easy and enjoyable. She clearly put a lot of thought into organizing each day based on distance and our personal interests, which made our honeymoon feel smooth, intentional, and never overwhelming. It truly felt like every day flowed naturally into the next.

On top of that, Katie went above and beyond with all the special touches she included for our honeymoon. From the thoughtful credits to the sweetest surprises along the way, it made the entire experience feel extra special and personalized. Those little details didn’t go unnoticed-they really elevated the trip and made it feel unforgettable.

She struck the perfect balance between guiding the process and allowing me to stay engaged, and I always felt confident that nothing was being overlooked. I would absolutely recommend Katie.

travel to Japan

Katie Kinney was an absolute gem throughout our entire honeymoon planning and especially during a very difficult situation we experienced in Japan. From the very beginning, she was super easy to work with, highly organized, and incredibly attentive to every detail of our trip.

What really stood out was how available and supportive she was when we needed her most. During an unexpected medical situation at one of our hotels- Hakone Airu, I was able to text Katie directly and she immediately helped guide us on what to do and how to get support in a stressful moment while being in a different country. That level of responsiveness gave us a lot of reassurance during a really overwhelming time.

Even after we returned home, Katie continued to advocate for us. She followed up with the hotel multiple times on our behalf regarding reimbursement for the incident. Unfortunately, the hotel was unresponsive for months and eventually claimed she had inquired too late, which was completely inaccurate. Despite that, Katie stayed persistent, professional, and committed to helping us get answers.

She truly went above and beyond—not just in planning a beautiful honeymoon, but in standing by us when things didn’t go as planned. We are very grateful for her support, care, and dedication throughout the entire experience, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent who genuinely has your back.

travel to Osaka

Katie Kinney truly went above and beyond for us during our stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Osaka and throughout the final portion of our honeymoon. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness made an already beautiful hotel experience feel even more special and personalized.

She coordinated several surprise touches for our room, including champagne, desserts, photos, and balloons. Walking into the room and seeing everything set up so thoughtfully was such a meaningful moment for us—it immediately made the stay feel celebratory and intimate in a way we’ll never forget.

Katie also checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our experience, not just the logistics of the booking. Ending our Japan honeymoon at the Four Seasons Osaka with her support made the entire trip feel complete and perfectly curated.

We are so grateful for her creativity, responsiveness, and genuine care. She made a luxury stay feel even more personal, and we would highly recommend her services to anyone wanting a thoughtfully planned and memorable travel experience.
