Travel style
It can be easy to get caught up in travel logistics and feel overwhelmed, but I’m here to help so you can just relax and enjoy your vacation. For me, the fun of traveling is to feel like a local, learn about the culture and enjoy amazing experiences on any budget. Stuck on where to go next? My favorite idea is to pick a place based on a special once-in-a-lifetime event like a concert or marathon. Travel is growth for us all!

Katy 's reviews
Katy did an absolutely great job. I was looking for a somewhat last minute room in the city and she 100% delivered. Not only did she get me a great rate, she also got me in the exact, central spot where I needed to be for most of my trip. This especially paid off with it raining for a good part of the trip and I didn't have to worry about it. She also called ahead to the hotel and I got a great room that was very quiet. She gave me restaurant suggestions and other recommendations. I will absolutely use her again on future travel (and not just in NY). A+

Katy Goldman recently planned a wonderful Spring Break trip for my family to Costa Rica! It was last minute when we decided to go and I was concerned we were too late and everything would be booked. After speaking to Katy and getting some questions answered, I immediately felt confident that she would quickly put together a great week for my family. Her knowledge and experience came through on our first phone call. Katy was incredibly attentive, listened to what I wanted for the trip and leveraged her relationships at various hotels within Costa Rica to get us options. She was enthusiastic, fun to work with and made some great suggestions about how to enhance our vacation experience. We have just returned and had a wonderful time! We loved everything Katy planned including the two different hotel experiences and some fantastic excursions. Katy is a pleasure to work with, extremely diligent in her planning approach and a true pro! I can’t wait to work with her again.

I was very overwhelmed by the thought of planning my first vacation with a baby, and so I decided to try out a travel agent for the first time. I am so glad that I did!! Katy was incredibly helpful from start to finish - the booking process was so much easier, and she took care of all of the details involved with traveling with a 6 month old. She really took so much of the stress out of the process. I cannot recommend her enough, and will certainly be using her services again in the future.

Working with Katy to plan our recent getaway was flawless. She is enormously committed, talented, and creative. Katy helped us structure our trip, plan the where-location and hotel-and book it. She was “on it” every step of the way. We debated the different “levels” of stay that Katy explained. As it turned out we went with the “high end” plan which actually ended up the most cost effective. Katy was sure to get us every upgrade available and we found ourselves on the Presidential floor with all kinds of perks! So I can’t recommend Katy more highly.
