Beach Vacation and Group Travel Specialist

Have you been searching for someone to help you plan the perfect beach vacation? Then look no further. Beach vacations are a specialty of mine. I have a passion for booking vacations to Mexico and Bermuda. Both offer stunning beaches and gorgeous resorts. Bermuda, in particular, holds a special place in my heart. It was where I spent my honeymoon, as well as my 10th and 20th anniversaries.

In addition to beach vacations, I also specialize in the following areas:

  • Family Vacations,
  • Corporate Travel,
  • Incentive Groups,
  • Romantic Getaways, Including Destination Weddings,
  • And All-Inclusives.

I am also an expert at booking FIT (Free Independent Travel) for my clients who dislike pre-packaged itineraries or who would prefer to explore a destination on their own rather than with a large group. For these clients, I can create an itinerary that has been customized to their particular interests. And while most people seem to think that they only need a travel agent to help them with their international getaways, the truth is I can also create magical domestic getaways for you.

For example, I recently booked four families on an RV caravan that took them through the National Parks. For this itinerary, I reserved their camping sites as well as a few hotel rooms. I also set up all of their excursions and arranged for private guides for their group of 20.

While I have more than 15 years of experience in the travel industry, I always strive to be the best agent possible. To that end, I try to visit approximately four or five different destinations, as well as resorts, per year. First-hand knowledge helps me to match my clients with the right destinations and resorts for their particular traveling style and vacations dreams.

I worked hard to stay on top of what is going on in the travel industry by earning a number of destination certifications and attending conferences and events, including the Nexion Romance seminar and the corporate CoNexion.

Would you like to learn more? Then please contact me, so I can discuss with you the many ways I can make your vacation dreams come true.

The long awaited vacation that our family needed!

Reviewed By Susan - Somerville, MA | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Karen has planned two incredible vacations for me and my family. The first was a cruise - which was spectacular. The second trip was most recent. She was working with me right down until the day I traveled. Her attention to detail and follow through are exemplary! The resort was beautiful and extremely clean. The staff at Dreams Riviera Maya couldn't do enough for us. Thanks to Karen - we enjoyed our trip and can't wait for the next one!

Holiday Cruise exploring Ancient Ruins

Reviewed By Sarah - Hillsborough, NJ | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We just retuned from an amazing family vacation Karen helped us book a Viking cruise from Rome to Athens. She was so helpful during the booking, making sure every detail was taken care of from transfers to excursions. She guided us and had great advice every step of the way. When our flight was delayed and we missed a connecting flight, Karen went above and beyond, even on Christmas Day, to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. It was reassuring to know we had a professional with lots of experience on our side.
