Karen loves international adventure and iconic National Parks.  She is a native Floridian who cherishes the nostalgic childhood memories from her many vacations and visits throughout the Sunshine State.  She is a proud military spouse and mother who has traveled extensively throughout Europe, the United States, and the island of Curacao.   She lived in Germany for nearly four years and traveled rigorously throughout Europe while abroad – toddlers and babies in tow!  She has journeyed to domestic locales from Acadia National Park to the majestic Rocky Mountains and Badlands National Parks.  In 2023 she uniquely created an 8-day trip encompassing trips to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon NP, Joshua Tree NP, and Death Valley NP – Disneyland included!

Karen knows how to make the most of your travel budget – whether you are looking for something economical or wanting to experience the finer things your travel dollars have to offer. She has experience finding accommodations that meet a family with children’s needs as well as girlfriends needing an escape to warmer weather. She loves meeting her sisters in Florida for long weekend trips to Walt Disney World and is always making new memories at exciting destinations.   Karen has great recommendations and has stayed at unique hotels such as the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel, Death Valley Inn, Chattanooga Choo-Choo, and multiple exciting resorts throughout Spain, Greece, France, Belgium, and Italy.  She has scuba-dived in Honduras, Jamaica, and Tahiti.  She loves everything Disney and wants to help you plan your next vacation!

Karen has explored the Greek Islands, swam with turtles in Curacao and Bora Bora, trudged mountain paths in Hawaii, and whitewater rafted in Honduras. She has fought the bitter cold at European Christmas markets - of course with a warm mug of Glühwein and waffle in hand! She navigated the Pyrenees mountains from Tossa de Mar, Spain on a family pilgrimage to Lourdes, France.  Her journeys have included unforgettable walks on the beaches at Normandy and hikes on the trails at Devils Tower!
