Why Work With Me

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!

She always goes above and beyond for us. We will use her over and over again.

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.

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!

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've have used Kelly's travel services for multiple trips including my first ones outside of the US. When traveling I always have anxiety about new areas (especially other countries), whether things will line up properly and making sure there is enough planned to fill our time. Kelly asks the proper questions regarding what we wanted to see/do and and offered tours and shuttles for whatever interested us. She also provided schedules and highlights for trips to London, Paris and Yellowknife with details so thorough it left nothing off the table. She makes herself available for questions both leading up to the trip as well as when you're on it, and if she doesn't know the answer she will call, research or whatever it takes to make sure its answered. I've recommended her to friends and they've been incredibly thankful for her services. She's also well traveled, which is an added bonus because she can give anecdotes from her own experiences instead of what she has read about, which is a huge plus. I'd never use anyone else, she's the best at what she does and I could not recommend her more!

Kelly has designed trips for us to Hungary, Peri and Morocco as well as booking some short domestic side trips. Always thoughtful always thorough.
