About
Travel-obsessed detailed planner who is always wanderlust. Adventure seeker who wants to stop worrying about the small things and enjoy the journey.
Travel style
You can find me telling stories of lounging all day beachside at numerous Mexican resorts, to wandering miles upon miles of big cities. Travels have included backpack train trips across Europe and mountain top family ATV adventures in Kauai. Immersing myself in local cuisines and cultures of wherever I find myself is key. Along with enjoying beautifully designed spaces and views.

Katie 's reviews
Our travel advisor Katie was a huge help booking this last minute staycation. Katie was able to offer us several upgrades by booking the room with her and I was still able to use my platinum Marriott status perks. It was a win all around. Katie surprised us with a beautiful welcome gift upon our arrival. There was welcome note with a family picture along with gifts for my girls and refreshments for the adults. It was truly a lovely experience. I will continue to have Katie help me with all my travel plans in the future!

Katie was wonderful to work with. We did not give her much time to help us find a toddler friendly location during the festive season but she came up with great options all within our budget! Katie went over an beyond helping us book our rental car and getting information from the resort on baby equipment and groceries! We will work with Katie for our family trips in the future!

Katie couldn’t have been any more amazing! She took the time to understand exactly what we were hoping to gain from our weekend getaway. Katie always responded quickly, she is extremely professional and reassured us that we were going to be well taken care of. Katie was knowledgeable about where we were going and provided recommendations regarding transportation, tours and dining. Katie allowed this planning process to be enjoyable and stress free. We will definitely be utilizing Katie’s expertise in the future for long weekends and family vacations to come. She is a natural at her job!
