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!

Working with Katy Goldman was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. From start to finish, Katy went above and beyond to make sure every part of our experience felt thoughtful, easy, and special.
She took the time to understand what would make us happiest and then somehow managed to exceed those expectations. Because of Katy, we arrived to beautiful welcomes throughout our trip, champagne waiting in our room at one hotel, and thoughtful touches like cookies, chocolates, cheese, and crackers at others. Those little moments made us feel so cared for and added something genuinely memorable to the experience.
Beyond that, Katy’s knowledge and insight about Paris were invaluable. Her recommendations, guidance, and attention to detail made the entire trip smoother, richer, and far less stressful to plan.
Katy is knowledgeable, kind, responsive, professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly thorough. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and wants them to have an exceptional experience, not just a good trip.
We absolutely loved our time in Paris, and working with Katy made the entire process feel easy and enjoyable. I give her my highest recommendation and would happily work with her again.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with our incredible travel advisor, Katy Goldman, and I truly can’t say enough about how exceptional she was. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure our trip was seamless and memorable.
What really stood out was her level of dedication—she actually walked over to the hotel in person to speak with the staff and personally advocate for our accommodations. Thanks to her efforts, we were able to secure a room with two queen beds, which is practically unheard of in New York City. On top of that, she managed to get us an amazing discount on the room, which made the experience even better.
As if that weren’t enough, Katy also arranged one of our favorite perks of the entire stay: complimentary breakfast vouchers for two at the delightful French bakery located right in the lobby. It was such a thoughtful touch and something we looked forward to every morning.
Katy’s attention to detail, commitment, and genuine care made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who will truly go the extra mile, she’s the one. We’re so grateful for her and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

I had the most fabulous experience working with Katy for our dual city trip to Europe. At the beginning we changed our minds more than once when deciding where to go. Katy continually provided ideas, hotels, and other information to help inform our decision, and was extremely patient and enthusiastic throughout the process. She continued providing excellent service for us when booking several rooms with different requirements and changing dates of our trip! Katy was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. She also checked in while we were away to make sure our stays in the hotels went smoothly. You will not find a better travel agent out there!

Katy was an absolute dream to work with. After completing a brief inquiry with Fora, Katy reached out and immediately put me at ease making a choice for a hotel that would be a fun and safe spot for me and my two girls. After just a brief phone conversation, Katy quickly compiled multiple hotel options across all price points and amenities, making the planning process incredibly easy. She offered her personal recommendation based on everything I asked for and she was perfectly on point. It was exactly what we wanted.
Katy was so patient as we settled on the hotel and helped us decide by providing detailed descriptions of the hotels and specific room types. She never made it seem like any trouble at all, and she even modified our reservation at the last minute so we could extend our stay. She took the time to provide choices she knew would feel safe and comfortable for me and my two grown daughters, while giving us options that were lively and fun.
Throughout the entire trip, she made herself available for anything we needed—restaurant suggestions, activity ideas, and even following up with the hotel to make sure everything was seamless. I genuinely felt like I had a friend in the city watching out for us, even though we’d never met in person. Katy is friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. I will use her again without hesitation and can’t recommend her highly enough!

Katy created the perfect vacation for my senior+ landmark birthday — a visit to an old friend in tiny Centennial, Wyoming (population 280!). Not easy to get to, especially since I dislike flying and the nearest airport is hours away. But Katy handled everything with such care and patience.
She found the right flight on the exact aircraft I felt comfortable with, arranged wheelchair assistance, helped me navigate online check-in, and even got me my lucky seat number!
Katy is the best travel agent ever — thoughtful, organized, and completely dedicated. I literally couldn’t have (almost) made it to 10,000 ft mountain elevation (and back to NYC!) without her!
