About Me

Retreats, Events, Bucket List Trips, Wellness

Some trips check a box. The ones I plan check something off your soul. I am Katie, a certified travel advisor with over 30 years of experience specializing in wellness retreats, curated events, bucket list adventures, and transformational travel. I work with people who are ready to stop saying "someday" and start saying "let's go." Whether you are craving a retreat that restores your mind and body, planning a group celebration that brings your favorite people together, or finally crossing that once-in-a-lifetime destination off your list, I design every experience with intention, heart, and an obsessive attention to detail. Your bucket list is not just a list. It is a story waiting to be written, and I take that seriously. From your first inquiry to your final departure, every detail is handled and every moment is considered. You bring the dream. I bring the plan.

From All-Inclusive to Once-in-a-Lifetime.
Not all trips are created equal. And not all travel advisors know the difference between a resort that calls itself "luxury" and one that actually delivers it. I do. And that is exactly the kind of insider knowledge I bring to every booking I make. Adult-Only, All-Inclusive Resorts ...Read More ▶

Every Detail. Every Trip. Every Dream.
There is a moment that happens on every retreat I host. It usually comes on the second day, when someone who arrived exhausted, overcommitted, and running on fumes finally exhales. Really exhales. And I live for that moment. I have spent years designing, hosting, and curating group travel ...Read More ▶

Cruise with the family!
Reviewed By Julie13 - Aynor, SC | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
We just got back from our Hawaii cruise, and wow, what a trip. Planning for six people (grandparents, parents, and two kids) could’ve been chaos, but Katie made it feel easy. She picked the perfect ship, perfect cabins, and excursions that worked for everyone. The grandparents loved the relaxing sea days, the kids lived in the pool and activity areas, and we all got to explore Hawaii together without stress. It was the kind of trip where everyone had fun, nobody felt overwhelmed, and we made memories we’ll be talking about forever. We’re already asking Katie where we should go next.
Katie O'Dea-Horne responded
"Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review. I’m thrilled your family’s Hawaii cruise was such a memorable experience for all three generations. Planning a trip that works for grandparents, parents, and kids is always special, and I’m so glad everything came together so smoothly. It means a lot to know the cruise created moments you’ll all treasure. I can’t wait to help you plan the next adventure."

Halloween and our 50th!!
Reviewed By CruisingVet - Georgetown, SC | Traveled to Caribbean
We celebrated turning 50 with a Virgin Voyages Halloween cruise, and it was perfect. The ship, the food, the parties, and the adults-only vibe made the whole trip unforgettable. We laughed, relaxed, dressed up, and made memories we’ll talk about forever. It was the best way to celebrate our friendship and this milestone
Katie O'Dea-Horne responded
"Thank you so much for this amazing review. I’m thrilled your 50th birthday cruise was everything you hoped for and that Virgin Voyages made the celebration unforgettable. Planning this milestone trip for you both was a joy, and I’m so happy it created such fun, meaningful memories. I can’t wait to help with your next adventure. "

Client Testimonials

Honeymoon Success
My husband and I wanted our Key West honeymoon to be something we would talk about for the rest of our lives — and Katie delivered that in every possible way. She listened to exactly what we envisioned and translated it into an experience that felt personal, romantic, and completely effortless from the moment we arrived to the moment we reluctantly headed home. The accommodations were stunning, the activities she recommended were perfectly paced — never too busy, never too rushed — and the little touches she arranged along the way made us feel genuinely special. A sunset cruise on the water, a candlelit dinner overlooking the Gulf, lazy mornings with nowhere to be — it all flowed together beautifully. Katie thought of things we never would have thought to ask for, and that is what made the difference. We are already talking about our first anniversary trip — and there is no one else we would call. Thank you, Katie, for the most magical beginning to our marriage.
