I’m Karen, and I’m so glad you’re here!
Travel has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. But my path into the travel world wasn’t exactly traditional. I spent years as a paralegal and in the nonprofit space before I “accidentally” discovered how incredible it feels to help others explore the world. At first, I thought this would just be a cute little side hustle. But here’s the thing - side hustles are dreams without a plan. And this dream deserved a real one.
Today, travel planning is not just my full-time job…it’s my calling. I specialize in Europe and cruises worldwide. I’m committed to honest, thoughtful advice and seamless service, so you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.
Live Your Travel Dreams
At Why Not Now Travels, we believe that life is unpredictable - so don’t wait for “someday” to see the world.

St. Lucia vacation
Reviewed By Honeymooners - Port Saint Lucie, FL | Traveled to St. Lucia | Caribbean
We had the most amazing trip to St. Lucia. Karen took care of booking everything for our all-inclusive trip. She booked flights, transportation to and from the resort, which included an amazing helicopter trip. She checked in on us multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly. Karen was always quick to respond to any questions we had, and we look forward to working with her again. Thank you so much for all you did to make our honeymoon fantastic.

Anniversary Trip to Iceland!
Reviewed By VC - Florida | Traveled to Iceland | Europe
Karen planned the most amazing anniversary trip to Iceland! Everything went so smoothly—we had drivers waiting at the airport, knew exactly where to go for our tours in Reykjavík, and her food recommendations were spot on. We got to see all the popular spots without any stress. She really loves Iceland, and it shows in the way she plans. Highly recommend!

Karen worked hard finding us the best hotels , and provided her Viator link so we could book tours that worked with our schedule. She even arranged our rental car. She followed up with us during our trip with updates and checked several times to make sure everything was handled properly. If your looking for someone to help make your next trip amazing- she’s your girl!’
