About Me

I live and sell luxury travel!

Hi, I’m Kara — full-time traveler, luxury travel curator, and unapologetic lover of turning left when I board an airplane (because let’s be honest… you love that feeling too). From the simple joys — like a perfectly crafted welcome drink or a suite with a view — to the more complex details of planning seamless, high-value itineraries, I understand what discerning travelers want. Luxury isn’t just about the price tag; it’s about comfort, ease, exclusivity, and feeling taken care of at every step. I live this lifestyle every day, exploring the world so I can bring that insider knowledge, elevated experience, and true value to every trip I plan. If you're ready for travel that feels effortless, special, and a little bit indulgent… I’m your girl. Let’s upgrade your adventures.

So attentive
Reviewed By Annie M - California | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
I've always booked my cruises myself and gotten pretty good prices. I booked several cruises while I was on the ship and Kara took over the reservations and then took care of everything. I was so pleased because she notified me when the price has changed and benefits increased and I was able to get more for my money because of her attentiveness to my cruise details. I won't be booking any more cruises on my own because I found someone who does a much better job than I could ever do.

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.

    Our Transatlantic Haven Escape on the NCL Aqua

    The moment Rex and I stepped onto the brand-new NCL Aqua for our transatlantic journey, it felt like we’d accidentally wandered into someone else’s dream… and decided to stay. As full-time travelers, we’re usually thrilled if our room has a hook to hang a backpack. But this time? We sailed straight into The Haven—NCL’s crown jewel of serenity, s...
