Travel Agent Specialist

As your personal travel dreamweaver and travel agent professional, I don’t just plan trips—I develop travel experiences that linger in your memory long after the tan fades. While my travel spans the globe, my true passion lies in orchestrating symphonies of indulgence. Picture yourself on the deck of a luxury cruise ship - champagne in hand, watching the Caribbean sun kissing the far horizon. Imagine sinking your toes in the powder-soft sands of a secluded Hawaiian beach - a lei around your neck and no cares in the world. From the vibrant streets of Mexico to the most exclusive resorts, tucked away in a tropical paradise, I know just where to find the ideal slice of heaven. Whether you’re in need of R&R or a thrill-seeker, I’ll make your journey as seamless as it’s unforgettable. As a travel agent professional, I can transform travel ideas into an Instagram-worthy reality. Contact me, #EscapesbyKathi, to embark on an adventure of a lifetime.
