I mix exploration and relaxation. I enjoy adventure travel, national parks and scuba / snorkeling, followed by relaxing in the hot tub or with a glass of wine. I usually take kids and / or friends along!

Katie's reviews
Katie was so helpful every step of the way. She communicated clearly, kept us updated, and answered all of our questions. She is amazing!

Katie is a phenomenal travel advisor. She took all of our requests into consideration such as budget, locations, timeframe, etc. and provided us with a once in a life time itinerary. Her recommendations were spot on — being in the heart of Rome, secluded in the Tuscan vineyards, and then back in the heart of Florence. Both locations in Rome and Florence were steps away from restaurants, shops, and sight seeing. We had multiple calls with Katie before our trip and she was always genuinely excited for us and our travel plans. Additionally, Katie checked-in on us during our trip and was available as needed. Her food and sight seeing recommendations were amazing and we cannot wait to plan another trip with her one day. We have already referred a handful of family and friends to Katie and are jealous of their trips to come!

Katie hit the nail right on the head with this recommendation! Perfect place to start our honeymoon, and would strongly recommend for future guests! Nicest hotel we've ever stayed in.
