Turks & Caicos

My license plate, TRVL4FN (travel for fun) really sums it up!

Not only do I chip away at my own travel bucket list, I love to help others do the same!

For more than over 30 years, I have been fortunate to have visited many spots around the globe. And speaking of fun, “everything Disney” is at the top of my list. Whether it’s Walt Disney World, Disneyland or a Disney Cruise, I’ve “been there, done that.”

I have put together groups as small as 12 passengers to groups as large as 80 passengers.  From coordinating their flights, transportation and resort stay.  

I have experience in River Cruising.  I am a Viking River Cruise Specialist along with the other many River Cruising companies such as Avalon and Uniworld.

You have a lot of questions and I have the answers, so you don’t have to worry about all the details. My goal is to make your vacation go as smoothly as possible from the time you start making your plans with me until your safe arrival back at home.

If you’re looking to relax at an all-inclusive resort, on one of the Caribbean islands, then let’s talk about all the possibilities: St. Lucia, the Turks and Caicos, and the Dominican Republic being some of my front-runners. Did I mention Mexico? I have favorites there too, such as the Mexican Riviera and Puerto Vallarta.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation or a honeymoon to any of these spots, I have the connections and experience to make it happen! Caribbean cruises are also my specialty, as well as large and small ocean liners around Alaska and luxury river cruises in Europe follow close behind. I look forward to reserving the perfect cabin for you and will work to take care of the smallest details, from the airline reservations, pre- and post-departure hotel rooms, transfers to the ship and suggestions on setting up shore excursions while in port, I’ve done it all!

Noteworthy certifications: · Accredited Cruise Counselor· Disney Specialist for all Disney hotels and resorts· Sandals Specialist for Sandals and Beaches resorts.

I look forward to helping you plan the “vacation of a lifetime!”

Our trip to Punta Cana was absolutely amazing! The airfare, transfers, resort, and amenities were all first class. Karen is a phenomenal agent! I have been working with her for years, and have recommended her to multiple friends and colleagues.

Our honeymoon was perfect
This is our second time working with Karen and she is fantastic! Our honeymoon was perfect thanks to her thoughtful planning. Karen provided us several options based on our budget, which made everything less overwhelming, and kept our needs and wants in mind. She truly cares and it shows. My husband and I appreciate Karen’s expertise and kindness so much. The destination we chose was perfect and exactly what we wanted. Transportation was easy. She explained everything so well and it made travel such a breeze. We will definitely contact her for future travel!

Family trip to Mexico 2019
Karen was fantastic to work with! She was very quick to respond with advice, answer questions, and offer opinions. She made every step of the way flawless by having everything set up for us, including every transfer, the park and fly, and even ensuring that we had a crib in our room! Karen really took time to understand what we were looking for and gave us great options and insights. She made our vacation dreams come true. We are so grateful!
