The best trip of our lives!!
Reviewed By Nicole Ross - Venice | Traveled to Italy | Europe
We cannot say enough amazing things about Kelly! She planned the most incredible trip to Italy for us, and every detail was absolutely perfect. From the beautiful accommodations to the seamless itinerary and unforgettable experiences, it truly was a dream vacation. She made the entire process stress-free and so enjoyable, always going above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. We loved working with her so much that we already had her plan another trip for us — this time to Costa Rica! If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, organized, attentive, and genuinely cares about creating unforgettable experiences, we highly recommend her. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and cannot wait for our next adventure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The best planned and detailed trip ever!!
Reviewed By CJ - Wake Forest, NC | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
I wish I would have found My Travel Awaits (and Kelly) sooner!!! Amazing attention to detail and her recommendations for local excursions, safe places to visit, etc. made our trip fun and relaxing. She even knew guides that could take us on customized tours. Planning our yearly family trips with her now.

Worry Free Family Vacation
Reviewed By Disneyfan222 - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Kelly was incredibly informative and patient with us as we deliberated on many things for our upcoming vacation. She began to see what we like and don’t like so she could help recommend experiences and help suggest certain hotels that might be easier to navigate with our family of 5. I would recommend Kelly to anyone looking to book a vacation!

We've had the best trips of our lives thanks to Kelly!
Reviewed By KWC131 - Cary, NC | Traveled to Yellowknife | Yukon | Canada
The Power of a Well-Traveled Perspective Because she’s well-traveled, Kelly can match the soul of a destination to your specific travel style. If a flight gets canceled in a foreign country, Kelly has likely been in that airport herself. She knows the workarounds because she’s lived them. The "Travel DNA" Profile: By now, Kelly probably knows our preferences better than you do. She knows you prefer the quiet room away from the elevator, that you’re a "window seat" person, and exactly what kind of coffee you want waiting for you. You don’t have to repeat your life story every time you want to go away. One text to Kelly, and she already has the foundation built. A great travel agent doesn't just book a trip; they curate an experience and provide a safety net that Google. That's Kelly! It’s clear that Kelly isn’t just an agent; she’s more like a travel architect who can pivot on a dime. Whether she’s navigating the logistical complexities of the Arctic Circle or the high-speed pulse of Europe, that kind of adaptability is what separates the pros from the apps. Booking a trip to see the Aurora Borealis is notoriously tricky—it’s a mix of science, timing, and a bit of luck. Kelly’s expertise likely took the "stress" out of the "chase." The "Plan B" Specialist: Since the lights are a natural phenomenon and never guaranteed, Kelly’s value shines in her ability to pack the itinerary with incredible daytime dog-sledding or thermal baths so the trip is a win regardless of the sky. The European Adventure: Seamless Adaptation Europe is wonderful, but it’s also a puzzle of train schedules, cobblestones, and local nuances. Europe operates on a different clock. Knowing Kelly is "available when you need her" means that if you’re standing on a platform in Florence confused about a rail strike, she’s already two steps ahead of you back home, fixing it before you even have time to panic. Kelly is simply the best.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
