Luxury Travel Advisor ~ Caribbean, Cruise ~ Disney ~ Alaska ~ Hawaii ~ Europe Vacation  Specialist ~

Hi, I’m Kara Watson, owner of Traveling Makes Memories, LLC, a luxury travel advisor based in Burlington, Iowa. I help busy professionals, couples, families, and small groups plan personalized vacations without the stress of managing every detail on their own.

I specialize in luxury Caribbean all-inclusive resorts, adults-only escapes, family all-inclusive vacations, ocean and river cruises, Disney destinations, Alaska cruise and land vacations, Hawaii getaways, and customized European travel to destinations including Greece, Italy, and Scotland.

Whether you are dreaming of Aruba’s white-sand beaches, a romantic adults only resort in the Caribbean, a family Disney vacation, an Alaska cruise through breathtaking glaciers, a Hawaiian island escape, or a customized Italy or Greece itinerary, I create travel experiences designed around your style, priorities, and budget.

As the owner of Traveling Makes Memories, LLC and a member of Travel Leaders Network and CLIA, I combine supplier relationships, destination knowledge, and personalized service to help my clients travel with confidence. Since entering the travel industry in 2022, I have focused on creating memorable vacation experiences with professional guidance from the first conversation through the return home.

My planning process begins with understanding your travel vision, preferences, budget, and special requests. From there, I research and recommend the best options, coordinate reservations, organize travel details, and provide support before and during your trip. My goal is to make the planning process smooth, organized, and enjoyable.

Based in Burlington, Iowa, I proudly serve travelers throughout the United States who are looking for expert guidance with luxury Caribbean vacations, all-inclusive resorts, cruises, Disney vacations, Alaska adventures, Hawaii getaways, honeymoons, destination celebrations, small group travel, and European vacations.

Let’s start planning your next unforgettable getaway.
