Cruising with Katie

Vacation planning with someone who cares about the details.

The details matter. So does who's planning them.

Why work with me

Thoughtful planning and personal attention

Vacation planning involves more than choosing a destination. I help you compare options, understand the details, and keep track of the steps along the way. Tell me what matters to you, including dietary requests, mobility considerations, or other travel needs.

  • Personal recommendations shaped around your interests and budget.
  • Guidance with bookings, payment deadlines, and trip arrangements.
  • A person you can ask questions—and someone willing to research the answers.

Let's bring your vacation together

  1. Tell me about your plans. Share your dates, budget, interests, and travel needs.
  2. Explore your options. I'll help you compare suitable choices and understand what is included.
  3. Get ready to travel. Once you choose your trip, I'll guide you through booking and preparation.

Have a destination in mind—or need help deciding? Let's start with a conversation.
