About Me

I have been a travel advisor since 2017, specializing in all-inclusive vacations and luxury cruising, including river cruises.

 

I truly enjoy exploring the beautiful all-inclusive resorts throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, and I love helping families and couples find the perfect getaway—whether that’s a fun-filled family escape or a relaxing, adults-only retreat. My favorite destinations to unwind include Mexico, Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas.

When I’m not at an all-inclusive resort, you’ll likely find me cruising. I’m passionate about exploring new destinations aboard some of the world’s top cruise lines, and river cruising holds a special place in my heart. There’s nothing better than unpacking once while experiencing multiple incredible destinations along Europe’s most scenic rivers and beyond.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I worked as a special needs consultant, which allows me to better support families who may require additional accommodations while traveling. I understand the extra planning that can go into these trips and take pride in creating seamless, stress-free vacations for every client.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my clients truly enjoy the vacations we plan together and create memories that will last a lifetime. I would love to help you plan your next adventure! If you want, I can also make a shorter version for social media or a punchier “luxury-focused” version to match your 2025 goals.

Why Book Your Next Trip With Me?

I am your personal travel concierge.  It is my job to make sure you have what you need for the perfect vacation. For many destinations, I monitor for discounts that might come out after booking.  Traveling is more complicated now. You need someone on your side whose job it is to monitor all the changes, make sure you are aware of protocols, make sure your trip and money is protected and can answer any questions you have. I can help you make excursions, dining and tour reservations. I help create customized itineraries. This all takes LOTS of time. I do all the legwork and you make all the decisions. I do hours of training both at home and at the destination sites. My job is to know all the ins and outs and pass my expertise along to you.

We love Kari! She has planned a few trips for us now and is always so willing to help. She goes above and beyond! Thank you for her help and working with us to make it a surprise trip for my 40th birthday. She even was up early making sure our flights connected on time. We enjoyed our latest trip to Sandals Grenada.

Lifelong memories!
Reviewed By Ann - Bartlett Il. | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Kari was so helpful in planning our family trip to Disney World.
We had been anticipating this trip since our granddaughters were born! Being novices to DW, Kari was there to arrange everything and coach us on how to navigate the app and Genie plus. Kari was very responsive to our requests and very patient dealing with our needs. If you're on the fence about using her, don't be! I was very comfortable reaching out to her for suggestions on where to take the littles while their parents headed to Universal for the day... which of course Kari coordinated.
Nothing short of a great experience and tons of wonderful memories here. We will be using Kari again for our next adventure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fabulous Friends Trip to LeBlanc Los Cabos

Some of my very best friends are the girls I grew up with in high school. Over the years, we’ve all gotten married, built our lives, and stayed close—but like so many friendships, life gets busy and it’s rare that we’re all together at the same time.   That’s why this trip to Le Blanc Los Cabos was so special. We were able to carve...
