About Me

There’s something truly special about traveling by train—the ever-changing scenery outside your window, the relaxed pace, and the chance to experience a destination in a more authentic way. I’ve fallen in love with rail travel for all those reasons and more, and I’m passionate about helping my clients discover that same magic through expertly planned rail vacations across the U.S. and around the world.

My personal rail experiences have taken me aboard the Aurora Winter Train through Alaska’s wild beauty, across the SBB rail network in Switzerland, and on scenic Amtrak routes throughout the continental United States. I’ve also had the pleasure of planning trips on the world-renowned Rocky Mountaineer, known for its glass-dome cars and spectacular mountain views. In addition, I’ve planned and assisted with rail vacations through Italy, Japan, and Ireland, combining efficient travel with authentic local experiences.

As a travel advisor, I partner with trusted suppliers such as Railbookers, Rail Europe, Amtrak Vacations, and Rocky Mountaineer to design seamless, stress-free itineraries that take the guesswork out of train travel. Through these partnerships, I’m able to access exclusive routes, preferred pricing, and on-the-ground support—ensuring your journey is as smooth as it is scenic.

Whether you dream of crossing the Canadian Rockies in luxury, exploring Europe by high-speed train, or taking a cross-country adventure through the U.S., I’ll handle every detail—from rail passes and connections to hotel stays and sightseeing. Traveling by train isn’t just about getting to your destination—it’s about savoring the journey along the way. Let me help you plan a rail vacation that’s comfortable, captivating, and completely unforgettable.

Another great trip with Kelly's help!
Reviewed By LB - Carmel, Indiana | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Kelly has helped us with four trips so far. A Caribbean Cruise, Southern Italy, London and Paris, and this last one to Australia and New Zealand. From start finish she has provided support, ideas, detailed itineraries, and so much more. She is very good at matching personal preferences and interests to the activities, accommodations, and timeline. She is also available during travel to help with any issues. We highly recommend Kelly!

Amazing Australia and New Zealand!
Reviewed By Terriffic Kelly Smith - Carmel, Indiana | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
One of our top international trips ever. What a seamless journey this was exploring 2 amazing countries put together by Kelly's itinerary for us. We have used Kelly multiple times and she's never failed to impress us with her incredible attention to detail with every aspect of the trip. Her Travel Plans app breaks down each day's transportation, activities, accommodations, hotel amentities, just about everything you could think of....it's all right there and available off line to view anytime you need to. She also updates you regularly via mesages on the app with any flight time updates, delays, gate changes or pick up arrangements that may occur. We've referred Kelly to family members, friends and neighbors. Kelly is terriffic!
