Hanging out with camels in Petra, Jordan
Hi, I am Karen Dell, MBA, VTA, and I have two favorite things with travel.
First, I love to travel as often as possible. And, as a Verified Travel Advisor and owner of Dell Adventures, I love to help others discover their love of travel.
My first international trip landed me in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland where I began to fall in love with the idea of seeing the world and learning to be a better global citizen.
Fast forward to my honeymoon with David ten years ago. We cruised from Puerto Rico to stop at six different Caribbean islands in seven days. We were smitten! There is nothing like enjoying your favorite morning cup of coffee with a beautiful island or gorgeous mountaintop as the backdrop.
Since then, I have visited almost every island in the Caribbean, had a bucket list trip through Alaska, Argentina, and Europe, even Jordan.

I finally saw my first moose!
Reviewed By Dixie - Grapevine, Texas | Traveled to Yellowstone National Park ~ Wyoming ~ USA
Karen planned a recent trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons for my husband and I. It was perfect. We are able to relax and not worry about the details before the trip. Karen is into details and making sure her clients are taken care of every step of the way. Alerting us when there was a gate change for our flight. Also, calling our hotels and making sure we felt welcomed when we arrived. We will use Dell Adventures for any future trips.The trip will be memorable for so many reason, but the biggest memory will be seeing my first moose!

Help when stranded
Reviewed By Aimee - New York | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
Words can not describe how wonderful my experience was with Karen! She was referred to me by a friend, who just raved about her. Karen booked us at Club Med in Turks and Caicos- it was to die for! We had a situation with American Airlines and their staff, we were not able to get home for several days- which if you had to get “stranded”- that was THE place for it to happen. Karen checked on in us many times to make sure everything was alright, which it was. I will definitely book with Karen again!
