I LOVE traveling, learning about and experiencing new destinations! I also enjoy getting to know my clients and their needs in order to make their vacation the most memorable it can be. I specialize in Groups, Honeymoons, Cruises and Family Travel.
Some of my favorite destinations have been San Francisco & Napa Valley, Jamaica and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I have also enjoyed cruising as it allows me to see and experience many destinations in a short time period. I have many, many more destinations on my bucketlist and look forward to traveling to them all!
My 2022 travel plans include a Virgin Voyages cruise, Royal Caribbean Cruise, Disneyland, Disney World, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Hawaii, . I am excited to add to theses destinations as the opportunities arise!

Testimonials
"Where to begin.... My wife and I enlisted Kim to assist us in purchasing round trip tickets for ourselves to Seoul, Korea and a one-way ticket for our adopted son (who we were traveling to take custody of). Not only was Kim able to get the tickets taken care of (for a foreign citizen with no SSN or American identification of any kind), she was able to save us a considerable amount of money off of at least one airline's special adoption rates. In addition to this, Kim was able to handle several other random things that popped up here and there both prior to departure and during the trip. Kim is a champ and I can't imagine how we would have gotten our boy home without her."

Kim was amazing to work with! My husband and I wanted to get away and had no idea where or what hotel we wanted. She gave us a ton of ideas and helped us puck the best one for us! We ended up in St. Pete beach at the Don Cesar and enjoyed every moment! Kim even surprised us with chocolate covered strawberries when we arrived.

A great trip
Reviewed By Aaron and Allison - Colorado Springs, CO | Traveled to Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
We've never used any travel services before, so Kim was our first experience and we'd definitely do it again. Kim was so easy to work with and she adjusted to fit our needs and our budget. She was quick to respond, friendly, kind and helped us through the whole process for our honeymoon which was amazing. Having someone in our lives while we were getting married and going on our honeymoon who was reliable was invaluable. Our flight was postponed until the next day by the time we got to the airport to leave and naturally we were distressed. We called Kim and she helped to work with the hotel and the car rental and even the airline and everything worked out great despite that extra stress the airline caused! Thank you Kim, we'll be working with you again in the future!

Our 1st ever family vaction.
Reviewed By MP - Orlandor, FL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
A hurricane hit while we were in FL & she called everyday to be sure we had everything we needed & worked directly with the hotel to be sure we could stay and took care of getting us the first flight available home afterwards. She relieved so much of our worry & stress. Even my husband had a blast. He doesn’t like to travel.
