Multigenerational & Special Interest Travel Expert
Nearly everyone you talk to will have a destination in mind that they have always wanted to reach. I am here to help my clients navigate through the endless information they might find on the Internet, and will work with them to create a personalized itinerary that includes everything they want to experience on their vacation and more.
I specialize in group travel adventures, specifically those for multi-generational families and special interest groups. I love to plan trips for groups of people who have the same hobbies, passions or interests.
For example, I am planning a Belly Dancing cruise for a group of professional and amateur belly dancers who want to learn more about their craft while exploring a new part of the world. This Caribbean cruise will begin in New Orleans, and travel to several destinations in the Caribbean Islands. The group will be able to enjoy lessons from professional dancers during their days at sea, and they can soak up the sun on the beach when they dock at the various ports.
I also have coordinated trips for various groups including:
- Photojournalists
- African drummers
- Ballroom dancers
- Alumni groups
- Genealogy enthusiasts
In addition, I work with multi-generational families in order to plan amazing and exciting vacations for everyone on the trip, regardless of their age and stage of life. I love to take these family travelers to unique destinations, such as
- Alaska
- the Arctic Circle
- Costa Rica
- London
- Las Vegas
Let me plan your next exciting and unique adventure today!
Travel is my Passion!

My clients always tell me that they can feel my passion in my voice and hear my excitement as I begin to plan their next adventure. I truly love everything about travel, and I love to help my clients in any way that I can along the way. In many cases, I even travel with my groups so that I can assist them with their every need.

She had answers to all my question and concerns!
Reviewed By Gail - Ohio | Traveled to
Cathi is fantastic and she goes above and beyond your typical travel agent! Her personality will ease any anxiety you may have about traveling. My mother, daughter and I recently took a trip to the UK and Cathi planned the entire trip with every detail covered. We were anxious about traveling out of the country but Cathi did a wonderful job and planned out everything. If you have any issues while on your trip she will resolve them quickly and efficiently! I will use Cathi for every future trip and recommend her to all my friends. Cathi has planned my vacation to Hawaii, the UK, California, Las Vegas and now we are taking an Alaskan cruise. We have never had any problems.

Most Amazing Travel Agent!!!
Reviewed By Chris - United States | Traveled to
Cathi booked 2 of our spring breaks to Cancun in March 2012 and 2013. The 1st year we had a group of 26, the 2nd year we had 40. She did everything humanly possible to make sure we had the best trip and did an amazing job handling our large groups. So many of my friends are always asking for her contact info for future trips. Always very thorough and quick to respond. She can always find the answer to any of your questions and make sure that you are staying in the best place for you!! Will definitely always continue to contact Cathi about future travels :)

A hassel-free trip planning
Reviewed By "TEACH" - Dunbar, PA | Traveled to
Cathi is EXCEPTIONAL when it comes to travel agents! In all of our dealings with a variety of agents (prior to finding Cathi), she is, by far, the most professional agent we have ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field of expertise and if she doesn't know something, she finds the answer and gets back in a timely manner. I recommend her to all of our friends and family. She is our 'go-to' person when it comes to any travel plans.

Cathi planned our vacation
Reviewed By TCM - Nashville | Traveled to
I spoke with Cathi and gave her a general idea for a family vacation. She researched alternatives and provided several exciting options. I then came back to Cathi and had to change the proposed trip dates due to a scheduling conflict. Cathi perservered and found a wonderful all-inclusive deal for us that addresses all of our needs. She handled everything, from search to booking non-stop airfare and everything in between. We are very excited about our upcoming vacation, and Cathi was instrumental to the process.

Happy to Help
Reviewed By dkm - Boardman,OH | Traveled to
I had a very pleasant experience dealing with Cathi. She was patient and willing to help. When she didn't know the answer she wouldn't act like she did and tell you what you wanted to hear she would find out and call you back promptly. I would use her again and happily recommend her services.

Reviewed By Dena D - NE Ohio | Traveled to
You want your vacation to be perfect... to go off without a hitch.
Or, perhaps you need help deciding the best place to go. Maybe you've even tried 'those buy it cheaper' sites.
Well let me tell you, I've been trusting my travel to Cathi for decades and she has always made the process as easy as the the get-away! Air tickets, rental cars, hotels, cruises and island destinations... Cathi has taken care of all of them for me. She is truly a god-send! Cathi has the experience, the connections and the tools to get you where you want to go - so you can enjoy every minute of your trip.

Very knowledgeable and friendly to work with!
Reviewed By Brian R - East Palestine, Ohio | Traveled to
Although we are still just under a year to go before we actually cruise Cathi has made us wish it was today. Cathi worked very hard at getting us the best deal possible and the cruise we wanted. We had specific request for side by side rooms with another family and she was able to arrange it for us. Just after booking the entire boat was chartered and our trip had to be rescheduled to an earlier week. She immediately got on it and was able to re-book for a earlier week along with some extra savings for our inconvenience. She has assured us that she will continue to watch our cruise for any additional savings that might come our way as well. We have booked before thru the cruise line itself and never felt this kind of customer service provided. We already plan to look for another cruise with Cathi upon returning from this one.

Super awesome
Reviewed By Rhonda - pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | Traveled to
Cathi has been our travel agent since 2000, I used to belong to the AAA, but her planning is very personal and she does it all from calling for dining reservations, to flights, and hotels. She shares the information that she has found and lets you decide what work best for you. I love that she gets back to me in an appropriate amount of time. I am a planner so a year and a half out I'm contacting her and she never makes me feel like I am bothering her. She is always willing to help me in anyway that I need.
I have recommended her to many of my friends and would not hesitate to say you will be nothing but pleased with her in every way!
