About Me

Folegandros Island, Cyclades, Greece
Folegandros Island, Cyclades, Greece

Hi! My name is Kate. I'm a travel agent with Come and See Travel. I grew up in upstate NY then went to college at Kent State University in Ohio. In college, I joined the Air Force. I have been in the Air Force for over 12 years and have been stationed overseas in northern Italy, San Antonio Texas, Las Vegas Nevada, and Nashville Tennessee, and now I call my home in Alexandria VA right outside DC.

I've had a joy for passion since I was young. Growing up my family always took family vacations multiple times a year and that spurred me to continue my travel journey throughout my life. Being in the Air Force has allowed me to travel the US and the world. I have visited Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, England, Belgium, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Croatia, France and that's just within Europe. I've also been to Buenos Aires, Argentina. And stayed at all inclusive resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. My husband is also an avid snowboarder so since being with him, we've boarded in Nevada, Park City Utah, Lake Tahoe California, Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, and Beaver Creek Colorado, Missouri, Whistler Canada, French Alps, and Austria. 

I've had so many great travel experiences it's hard to pick a favorite. My favorite was my honeymoon to Greece. We went on a small cruise line with only 40 guests around the Cyclades islands visiting Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, and a few others. This combined my favorite past times of travel and boating. Plus we explored the ancient mythology and history in mainland Greece for my husband's interest in Greek mythology. 

I specialize in all inclusive resorts, European travel, Universal Studios vacations, cruises (especially Virgin Voyages), and ski trips. I was previously a season ticket holder for Universal Studios Hollywood and Disneyland for many years while living in Las Vegas. And my husband proposed to me in front of the Hogwarts Castle in Universal Studios Orlando; we're huge Harry Potter nerds. But, I can book almost anything including Disney World and Disneyland, South America, African safari, or Japan.

I'm very passionate about traveling and I enjoy spreading my love to others. I'm also an avid researcher and perfectionist so travel agent just fits in my strength. If I sound like the right fit for you, please contact me. Thanks for reading about me. Hope to hear from you soon!

Our honeymoon was unforgettable because of Kate!
Reviewed By Kalee - Nashville, TN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Kate was on top of it and made our honeymoon the best it could have been! She booked our travel, hotels, tours, transfers and trains. We couldn’t be happier with everything and we have memories to last a lifetime because of her hard work. I would recommend her to everyone!

Italian Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Courtney Cochran Butler - Nashville, TN | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Kate planned the perfect honeymoon for my husband and I. From booking the flights to every train ride from one city to another, Kate had every detail of our 11 day trip documented and planned out for us. We visited Rome, Florence, Siena, Sorrento, Capri, and even drove out to San Gimignano for a day from Siena. As tourists, we did all the things from a coliseum tour, the Sistine chapel, wine tastings and tours, visiting the well-known beach clubs in Capri, seeing the Statue of David in Florence, etc. Kate made it so easy for us as we had never been to Europe. The itinerary was laid out to a tee and the app had everything we needed like our train tickets when we anrrived at the train station and more. She sent us everything we needed to know beforehand like giving us travel tips for the pick pocketers, making copies of our passports/ID’s, restaurant recommendations and when to make reservations, and anything else in between. I’ve recommended Kate to my friends/family who have asked. She did a wonderful job planning this trip and thought out every detail. She was very responsive throughout the planning process and even during our trip if we had any questions. 10/10 recommendations Kate to plan your trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Magical Disney Experience
Reviewed By Brittany - Phoenix | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Kate is a very thorough and knowledgeable travel agent. she isn't pushy and asks all the right questions to get all the details you want sorted. she texts, emails, social media chats, etc- whatever you preference is! she reminded me of important dates coming up for booking things like reservations and asked if anything could be impressive after the trip for future bookings. We had such a good time. Definitely would use her again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Domincan Republic Honeymoon
Reviewed By Chris A - League City, TX | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
We had an amazing experience working with Kate Pagano as our travel agent. From start to finish, she provided 5-star service, always attentive, quick to respond, and incredibly helpful with every question we had. She made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free. Kate arranged our airport transfers and booked us an incredible Swim-Up Suite at the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, which was the highlight of our trip. Kate helped us choose the perfect resort that checked all the boxes: exceptional service, top-shelf drinks, stunning views, and most importantly, high-quality food. She truly listened to what we were looking for and guided us to a place that exceeded all our expectations. Having a travel agent like Kate is a total game changer. She took care of all the logistics, helped us choose the best options for our budget and preferences, and gave us peace of mind knowing we had someone we could count on if anything came up. Highly recommend working with Kate Pagano if you want a sea

My Travel Stories

Sailing the Cyclades Islands in Greece

Sailing through the Cyclades was one of the most unforgettable travel experiences I’ve had as a travel agent. We spent a week aboard a small yacht with just 34 other guests, departing from and returning to Athens, which made the journey feel intimate, relaxed, and perfectly paced. We traveled mostly at night, which meant we arrived at each islan...
