Hi, I'm Karla

I specialize in luxury guided European vacations and Alaska and European ocean and river cruises, thoughtfully designed for couples and small groups pursuing milestone, romance, bucket-list, or "next chapter" travel.

This free 30-minute call is where it all begins. No pressure, no obligation. Just an honest conversation about your dream trip.

From our first conversation to the moment you return home, every reservation, transfer, and experience is carefully managed so you can arrive confident, present, and fully immersed in what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay anything for the consultation?

No. The 30-minute call is completely free. There is no obligation to book, and I will never pressure you. You will leave with honest direction regardless of whether we work together.

How far in advance should I start planning?

For European river cruises and guided tours, 12 to 18 months ahead is ideal. For Alaska cruises, 9 to 12 months. For custom European itineraries, 6 to 12 months gives us the best options. That said, I have worked miracles on shorter timelines, so reach out even if your trip feels close.

What if I already know exactly what I want?

I earn a commission from the suppliers I book (hotels, cruise lines, tour operators). For custom itinerary planning, I charge a planning fee, disclosed upfront before you commit to anything. You never pay more than if you booked directly, and often you pay less.

How does a travel advisor get paid?

Even better. Bring your vision to the call and I will tell you honestly whether it is achievable, what it will cost, and how I can make it better. Many of my best trips started with a client who already had a clear picture.
