About
A travel obsessed mom addicted to not just researching and planning trips but also figuring out the best way to pack for them.
Travel style
As a mom and travel advisor, I have a passion for planning trips that create memorable and enjoyable experiences for everyone involved, regardless of age. I prioritize unique adventures that allow you to truly experience your destination and all it has to offer as well as comfortable, luxe accommodations where you can relax & recharge after long days of exploring. My ideal trip combines history, nature, adventure and and great food.

Kara's reviews
Thanks to Kara, I was able to truly relax and enjoy the experience without the usual stress of planning. It was such a relief to delegate the logistics and trust that everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a seamless travel experience. In fact, I’d seriously consider using her again for future international trips—just to take the stress off my plate!

Kara was wonderful. I had never been to Disney before and she laid out all our options and gave suggestions for our day that made everything so so easy! I will definitely use Kara again!

Planning our 5-year-old’s first trip to Disneyland after not visiting for over 25 years was a bit intimidating, but thankfully, we found Kara! She crafted the most seamless and unforgettable experience for us.

Kara was so enthusiastic about working with us. She customized the trip to our personal preferences and offered a great variety of options for our 10th anniversary trip to truly make it a special getaway. We ended up staying in a beautiful cottage in wine country and using her recommendations for day activities and restaurants. It was such a weight off to have Kara take care of the planning for us!
