About Me

On safari in South Africa.
On safari in South Africa.

Embark on your next adventure with a travel expert who has dedicated a lifetime to exploring the world! My journey began in my childhood, moving from place to place with my father in the Air Force. This early exposure to diverse cultures ignited my passion for travel, a passion I've shared with my husband as we navigated the globe whenever our corporate jobs allowed. But the allure of adventure was too strong to resist. We decided to leave the corporate grind behind and embrace our true calling: traveling the world full-time. With a wealth of experience in cruising, all-inclusive resorts, and tour-style travel, I bring insider knowledge and personalized recommendations to each journey. Ready to create unforgettable memories? Let me craft the perfect travel experience for you. Reach out today, and let's turn your travel dreams into reality!

Client Testimonial

"Our travel advisor planned a trip of a lifetime for us. We visited Peru, Ecuador, and the Galapagos Islands. Every part of the trip, including multiple flights, transfers, trains, cruising and private tours was seamless. We were able to relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about all the details. From start to finish, we were well-prepared with what to expect at every step. We always felt like we were in good hands with every guide along the way. We couldn't have managed all the planning on our own and were thrilled to have Kara Rountree, our travel advisor, do all the careful planning on our behalf. We love to travel and do it often. This stands out as one of the very best trips we have taken."  Brian & Julie

Every detail was perfectly planned - making our Virgin Voyages trip completely stress-free
Reviewed By JeanetteS - Rocklin, California | Traveled to Cozumel | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Our Virgin Voyages cruise to the Riviera Maya was an amazing experience, and Kara played a huge role in making it so seamless. Beyond booking the cruise, she helped us find the perfect hotel, made excellent dining recommendations both onboard the ship and in Miami, and ensured we were fully prepared every step of the way. She kept us informed about when reservations opened on the ship, so we never missed out, and provided thoughtful excursion options for Bimini, Cozumel, and Miami that truly enhanced our trip. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and proactive communication made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. We would highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a personalized and exceptionally well-planned cruise experience.

Kara is an amazing travel advisor
Reviewed By Sunshine - New Orleans, LA | Traveled to Europe
Kara has booked many vacations for us. Kara stays on top of pricing and recently was able to save us money on a cruise we had booked. Kara has helped us find discount codes, reached out to us when we were able to triple up on NCL cruise next. Kara is the one that introduced us to Virgin cruises in 2022 and made sure we knew to get our status matched. Kara has the patience of a saint and she never makes you feel bad about any questions you ask. We enjoy Kara and her husband Rex so much that we now have started to travel with them.

Checking off bucket list adventures
Reviewed By The Geaches - Elk Grove, California | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
Kara has helped us plan several cruises over the years, and she always goes above and beyond. Most recently, she and her husband Rex helped us plan a bucket list Viking River Cruise along the Rhine. They also arranged our hotels and guided us on booking scenic train rides through the Swiss Alps. Our trip is coming up soon, and we’re so grateful for their expertise and support. Kara also organizes group cruises, and we’re excited to be joining one of her Asia cruises in 2027—another bucket list experience we didn’t even know we had! There’s a whole world out there to explore, and Kara is the perfect person to help you plan it.
