When I get a call from a client who wants to do a solo trip, I know just what to do, because I LOVE a good solo trip, myself! When Hailee called me and told me she wanted to do an off-the-beaten-path area of Mexico, even BETTER!

Spring Break is a busy time of year, and for many people it means beach and fun vacations, but for this family, they decided to fly over the pond to the United Kingdom for their Spring Break fun! They went to England and Scotland, enjoying checking out Big Ben, the London Eye, the Scottish Highlands, and the Royal Mile, among other things.

Who wouldn’t love taking their Spring Break to Australia? This family decided to jump on a Skymiles deal for cheap flights to Sydney, and then contacted me to plan out what they would do while there! Perfect combination, and one I do fairly often for clients.

This year was my first Travel with Kara group trip ever, and it was such a fun time! We traveled through Ireland and Northern Ireland, with a free day in Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day. With 15 travelers plus myself, it was a perfect size to get to know each other and enjoy each other’s company.

Some people love to explore new places each year, and some prefer to return to their favorite spots. These clients love to go to Mazatlan, Mexico for their winter vacation, and have been going for years. They still end up finding new things to see and do while they are there, along with their tried and true favorites.

I have several clients who regularly take solo trips but prefer to join up with a group upon arrival. This is one of those clients. He wanted to bike through part of Cuba, and was a bit wary of doing it without any assistance.

These clients had certain dates they could be gone while they had childcare and wanted to explore Colombia during that time. They didn’t want to just see one or two spots, but they wanted to see several of the ecosystems while they were there. They explored the Amazon, coffee region, and Caribbean while there.

What’s better than spending the winter break someplace warm? Not too much as this family found out! They decided to hire me to find some amazing excursions for their time in Mexico, as they’d already booked their accommodations and flights themselves.

When retired, it’s a great idea to travel! This couple loves to travel and typically goes on one international trip per year or so. This year, they decided on sticking a little closer to home and heading to the Southwest United States.

When you have places you want to see in a destination that many don’t get to, you check off as many as you can in your trip! That’s what Kerry & Will did on their epic, 4 state adventure to Australia.

A good trip with a sister deserves another, and these sisters had taken a trip to Italy together in the past and wanted to do another one, this time to Portugal! They enjoy taking escorted tours, joining with a guide and getting the benefit of not having to think about the logistics much when they are there. They decided on a Globus itinerary and were not disappointed.

For this client and his son, they had been dreaming of Croatia for years but had not had the opportunity to make it reality. I crafted a tailor-made itinerary based on what their interests were, and they had a wonderful time. They explored Zagreb, Pula, Split, Mostar, and Dubrovnik!

This is a trip that I got to take myself and it was phenomenal. I spent some time in the Azores (an island chain west of Portugal in the Atlantic Ocean) and a couple days in Lisbon. While it wasn’t high season in either location, both were amazing and had some really cool things I saw.

This couple had previously had me plan a trip to Europe for them, but this time they were shooting closer to home with a domestic trip to the East Coast. They started in Boston, enjoying the sites and history there and in Salem, before taking an Amtrak up to New York City. They saw Hamilton on Broadway, as well as the typical Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Washington Square Park, and more.

Another pair of winners to see the Paralympics (see previous post), and they also made the smart choice to use me to plan an extension to their trip! They decided they wanted to see southern Europe more than London & Ireland, though, with Italy & Croatia being their bucket list choices.

Getting to see portions of the Paralympics is something most people don’t get to say they’ve done, however these clients can! They won tickets from their work for a few days at the Paris Paralympics and decided to extend their trip to London & Ireland afterwards. While the Paralympic portion was taken care of by corporate, the rest of the trip was up to them, and they decided to use me to plan it - smart choice!

Italy has been a popular destination this year - you’ve probably noticed this if you look back at posts, and guess what: you’ll see another post coming in the next few days as well! This trip was for a family of 4 who wanted to experience Italy (and their first family trip to Europe) for the first time.

I really love planning family trips. I especially love families that are adventurous and think outside the box, like this family. They decided to see Coldplay in Düsseldorf, and then created a whole vacation around that! They hit up Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Zürich, Sorrento, and Rome on their trip.

While Italy is definitely a top country I get requests to plan trips for, this couple dived a little deeper than most of my clients do. They wanted to see some of the more obscure churches and sites of Rome that many pass by unnoticed. They also decided to stay in Cinque Terre for a bit, and check out the town (and cathedral) of Assisi. They enjoyed the Accademia in Florence, and finished off in Como for a relaxing stay on the lake.

The Baltic countries - a less traveled portion of Europe - called to my client. He usually prefers more active trips (hiking and a bit more strenuous than city tour walks), but he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to see Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, as well as Finland and Sweden.
