About Me

Taormina, Sicily
Taormina, Sicily

Welcome to LEG Travel! 

After many years of staying home with the kids and working for local live community theatre, I decided in 2015 to put my travel and hospitality training to use and open my travel business.

I specialize in Europe Vacations.  I've been lucky enough to travel to all over the continent, from the bustling streets of London to the romantic city of Paris. I've also explored Italy's stunning coastline, Greece's ancient ruins, Portugal's charming villages, Germany's beer gardens, and Austria's snow-capped mountains, just to name a few. I love helping people plan their dream trips to Europe. I can help you find the perfect flights, hotels, and activities to create an unforgettable vacation. I'm also an expert in planning customized itineraries, so you can explore Europe your way. Whether you're looking for a river cruise, ocean cruise, romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo adventure, I can help you find the perfect European destination for you. Contact me today to start planning your dream trip!

FAQ

  • Why use a travel agent?

I can save you time and money. I am an expert in booking travel. There are so many things that I do behind the scenes that assure you will have a perfect vacation; flight schedules, destination information, business relationships with travel wholesalers and tour operators, sales and promos that aren't available to the public, up to date info on up and coming travel, I have your back if you are in need of an advocate, I offer value and unique experiences.

  • How much does it cost to use a travel agent?

You won't pay any more with me, in fact most of the time I can save you money and add amenities to your vacation package that you wouldn't receive if booking yourself.

  • Why should I book with you instead of booking it myself?

I can save you so much time and stress! I already know which airlines fly to Cabo, and which dates are the lowest to travel. I work with Travel Leaders Network and their affiliates who have buying power and special relationships with tour operators and suppliers, which means I can offer you special amenities and most of the time, lower rates. 

  • Do I have to pay in full at time of booking?

Most of the suppliers I use offer low deposits. You can book a cruise 2 years in advance and put down a small deposit from $50-$500. You can book a vacation package with air and only pay $200-$300 per person deposit. 

  • Can I setup a payment schedule?

Yes! We offer low deposits on travel packages. You can make payments at any time by setting up a schedule or pay as you want. Most vacation packages and cruises will require full payment 30-60 days prior to travel.

 

If you have any other questions, please contact me. I can be reached via text, email or phone.

I appreciate the time that you have taken to read my bio and I look forward to providing you with the best customer service and travel planning services that you can find! 

Sincerely,

Kathleen Lowry

You'll love where we take you.

The best belated honeymoon
Reviewed By Eddie and Abby - Bakersfield, CA | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kathi is amazing at helping with every aspect of planning a trip. My husband and I had some thought of where we wanted our next family vacation to be, but Kathi gave us multiple options, answered a million questions for us, and ultimately booked us a dream come true vacation that we will be taking in June. Excursions, airfare, hotels, and airport transportation can all be booked through Kathi. She is amazing at finding the best deals at the lowest price. And if there is a question she might not have an answer to, she spends her time finding it.
Kathleen Lowry responded
"Thank you Abby! It has been so rewarding planning your trips for you and Eddie. I can't wait to hear all about your summer vacation. I look forward to many more trips with you! Your kind words are very appreciated. Sincerely, Kathi"

Wonderful and fun!
Reviewed By Courtney - Marina Del Rey, CA | Traveled to
Kathi was amazing! She took all the stress of planning a vacation away. My husband and I are vacationing to Hawaii for our 10 year Anniversary. We have two little ones, and I was feeling overwhelmed at the thought of narrowing down where to stay, and which excursions to do. I got in touch with Kathi, and that overwhelming feeling went away immediately. She did the research for me, sent me just a couple options to see what I liked better, and booked it from there. It was great just having a top two or three to choose from instead of the hundreds of options in Hawaii. Thank you Kathi! We'll be using you again. Can't wait to be sipping my mai tai at Duke's!
Kathleen Lowry responded
"Hawaii is the perfect destination for a romance vacation! Thank you for trusting our agency. We are thrilled that you had a great travel experience. We look forward to many more vacations with your family!"

Client Testimonials

"...exceeded expectations "
As someone that owns a service oriented business, I rarely find an entity that meets the standards and expectations that I put on my own staff and team members; especially when it comes to being responsive and following through with prompt and proficient communications. Kathleen has both met and exceeded those expectations and I highly recommend her for any and all of your travel plans.
