About Karen Coleman, CTA, Founder of Coleman’s Custom Escapes. LLC

Investing in memories - one unforgettable journey at a time.

After decades as an Executive in local government accounting and finance - including serving as an elected Treasurer-Tax Collector - I made the decision to trade balance sheets for boarding passes. What hasn't changed is my passion for service. Today, I help travelers invest in something far more valuable than things: experiences that last a lifetime.

With a deep love for exploration and a commitment to meaningful travel, I launched Coleman’s Custom Escapes to help others discover the same joy that travel has brought to my own life. From cultural cruises to road trip adventures, I design itineraries that feel authentic and unforgettable. Because truthfully? Nothing you invest in makes you richer than travel.

What I Value

• Integrity: You can expect transparency, honesty, and high standards at every step

• Personalization:  Every trip is designed around you

• Cultural Connection: I focus on enriching and immersive experiences

• Service-Oriented Roots: My public service background informs every detail I manage

A Few of My Favorite Things

• Contemporary Ocean Cruises filled with entertainment, diverse dining and modern comforts

• Luxury River Cruises with focused itineraries, culinary excellence and personalized service

• Premium Guided Tours specializing in cultural immersion and indulgent sensory rich exploration

• Family road trips where the GPS is optional – and laughter is required
