Hi, my name is Karen Hammond & I am a travel agent with MainStreet Travel Agency. I grew up in Tokyo, Japan & have been traveling all my life. As a child I grew up going to Tokyo Disneyland where my love for all things Disney started. After having children I wanted them to experience the same magical vacations I had as a child & as a family we have planned many trips to Walt Disney World in FL as well as Disneyland in California. Recently I have developed a love for cruising & have gone on 2 Disney Cruises to the Bahamas & Castaway Cay. So many of my childhood memories are tied to vacations & the fun & magic those trips held. These memories have inspired me to work in the travel industry & I have enjoyed planning & booking trips for individuals, families, couples & groups. Helping people create lasting memories is such a joy!
