About
Pastry chef, sommelier, points hoarder and cruising enthusiast. Add in a side order of history, please.
Travel style
I very much ascribe to the philosophy of travel while you’re able, and am doing my best to live up to that task! With a former career in pastry and wine, my travel revolves around food and beverage, with a side of history thrown in for fun. Researching an upcoming *potential* destination is half the fun of traveling. It ensures no “darn” moments of finding out about a must-see element only upon departure (as well as ensuring the best bang for your budget).
While I am certainly a points enthusiast, I prefer to utilize points for flights and instead stay in boutiques and local gems when possible. Private or small group tours with local guides are definitely a preference, as are the best local-owned shops, restaurants, and cafes. My alter ego is a real cruise aficionado and loves to cruise for the sake of cruising, as often as work allows.

Kelsey's reviews
She was fantastic. Always answered the phone and helped with all of our questions. Working with Kelsey helped set us up for a great trip. We will defiantly be using her again in the future to book trips.

Kelsey had a masterful knowledge of Athens and beyond! When we weren't sure about the initial hotel choices she offered, she immediately added more options. And, of course, we ended up going with one of the first three options she offered. All to say that she left the choice to us, not trying to overly influence us, but probably knowing that we'd come back to her original suggestions. We won't travel anywhere else without at least consulting with Kelsey.

Kelsey Parry is exceptional; it's as simple as that. I decided to plan a trip to Palm Beach. Instead of my usual routine of booking a trip myself, I decided to take advantage of Kelsey's expertise, knowledge, experience, and unparalleled research skills — wow, was that the right decision! Kelsey booked me in one of the most delightful hotels I've stayed in and made sure to book me for the weekly Trivia game during my stay. It was a blast and an elevated Trivia with fun, food, and great drinks. Kelsey planned for me to use the hotel's excellent beach amenities. I would have missed these experiences if I had booked myself because I wouldn't have researched as thoroughly as Kelsey. For dinner, Kesley made sure I had a reservation at one of the best restaurants in town, which was another memorable experience — the food and service were superb! If you have high standards, expect the best, and hope for unexpected, fabulous "extras," then Kelsey is your travel advisor! Kelsey makes the planning process fun and stays with you — she's got your back. Please trust me when I say you cannot find a better person to arrange your travel, big or small, far or near, than Kelsey Parry. I'm excited to plan my next trip with Kelsey, and you should, too!
