Travel isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is the way I design it. I believe the most memorable journeys are the ones that feel like they were created with you in mind from the very beginning. That’s why I take the time to truly understand who you are as a traveler — not just where you want to go, but how you want to feel when you get there. From your preferred pace and travel style to the experiences that excite you most, I thoughtfully tailor every detail so your trip reflects you in the most authentic way.

No two clients are alike, and your itinerary shouldn’t be either. Whether you crave immersive cultural experiences, refined luxury, off-the-beaten-path exploration, or perfectly balanced relaxation, I design each journey with intention. I consider the little things that make a big difference — the right hotel in the right neighborhood, the ideal cruise line for your style, meaningful excursions, and seamless transitions — all working together to create a travel experience that feels effortless and deeply personal.

My clients come to me because they want the excitement of an upcoming vacation without the stress and time commitment of planning one. I manage every aspect of the process — from in-depth research and curated recommendations to reservations, logistics, and those often-overlooked details that elevate a trip from good to exceptional. You can step into your vacation with confidence, knowing everything has been thoughtfully handled.

With extensive knowledge of destinations, cruise lines, resorts, and evolving travel trends, my recommendations are always grounded in real experience and trusted insight — never guesswork. Whether you’re envisioning a luxury ocean or river cruise, a curated European itinerary, an all-inclusive escape, or a family vacation that truly allows everyone to relax, I bring clarity, organization, and expertise to every stage of planning.

Beyond logistics, I serve as your trusted travel partner — someone who advocates for your needs, anticipates challenges before they arise, and ensures your journey unfolds seamlessly from start to finish. My goal is not just to plan a trip, but to create an experience that feels elevated, intentional, and uniquely yours.

Your time is valuable, and your vacation should feel like a reward — not another task to manage. I give you that time back while delivering a journey designed around you with care, precision, and genuine attention.

If you’re looking for a travel advisor who blends expertise with a highly personalized approach, I would be honored to help bring your next adventure to life. Contact me today, and let’s get started!

Dream Trip by Kelly
Reviewed By RobinM - San Clemente, CA | Traveled to New Zealand | Australia & New Zealand
Kelly is the best! She planned an amazing three weeks for me in New Zealand that included several fun activities and places I would have missed without her. Kelly listened to my concerns and was super patient with my questions. She kept the trip on budget and checked in with me while I was gone. I felt very well cared for with Kelly and have already recommended her to a few friends.

Kelly is amazing. Incredible trip to France and Italy.
Reviewed By NCTerp - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
We decided to do 3.5 weeks in Europe this summer....of course....at the last second (less than 4 weeks before we wanted to go). Kelly not only saved the day but created an awesome experience for the four of us. Our trip to Paris, Normandy, Rome, and Pompeii was fantastic! Kelly took care of everything. Great hotels, local travel, tours/guides, restaurants....literally everything. It was amazing. She was very responsive, knowledgable, and anticipatory. Two other great things about Kelly, she has been to many of the places her clients want to visit and she really listens to what kind of experience you want. It was a huge stress reliever to turn things over to her and know that it would be taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough!

Great Alaskan Cruise
Reviewed By rsweigart69 - Lillington, NC | Traveled to Alaska | USA
I wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise since Alaska was one of the four states I had yet to visit. I asked Kelly Bishop to arrange an adult oriented cruise for my 23 year old grandson and me. She did a great job of walking me through choosing a cruise line, best dates, stateroom packages, excursions, clothing, etc. Kelly recommended Celebrity Cruises and it was perfect for us. Thanks to Kelly's thoughtful planning, we didn't have to worry about a single detail and could focus on making lifetime memories. We had an amazing trip. I highly recommend booking your next vacation with Kelly Bishop at My Travel Awaits.
