Agent Specializing in Customized Travel
As a travel agent, I get the most joy from customizing travel and itineraries to suit my client's preferences. Anyone can book an all-inclusive package deal, but not every agent takes the time to really understand what their clients are really looking to gain from their travels, whether it's reconnecting with a loved one, learning more about history, understanding different cultural backgrounds, or embarking on a multi-generational voyage to spend quality time with extended family.

Two weeks in Kaua'i
Returning to regular life in the Chicago area in March after a two week stay in the paradise that is Kaua'i is a very tough adjustment and I do not recommend it.

Birthday Vacation to Myself!
I reached out to Karen about a month before my birthday looking for a quick getaway from the Chicago cold in February 2024. Within 24 hours she put together a proposal for a 4 star property that fit my time frame and budget. Airfare, round-trip transfers, insurance and a beautiful all-inclusive resort were included at a very reasonable price. I recommend Karen's services to anyone looking for quick personalized service. She takes the stress out of planning, so you can enjoy yourself.
