Travel Advisor

I started in the travel business in 2017 as an assistant travel advisor, transitioning from a successful decade-long background in medical sales and running two small businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area. My lifelong passion for travel, sparked by my grandparents’ global adventures, has taken me across the globe to destinations including Prague, the UK, New Zealand, Fiji, Mexico, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, South Korea, Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Canada, the Caribbean, and Taiwan. I love planning honeymoons, curating dream trips to romantic locales like Italy, French Polynesia, Greece, Dubai, The Maldives, Thailand, African Safari's to name a few. I also bring my expertise to planning memorable family vacations, from beach escapes—such as my favorite destination, Jamaica, where I was married—to rugged adventures and cultural learning experiences. For me, being a travel advisor is about more than bookings; it's about reducing client stress and curating unique and immersive journeys. When clients have that ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ look because there are so many choices, I respond, ‘I got this.’ It’s incredibly rewarding to put something together and hear a client say it was the best trip of their life.

I was born in New York, raised in New Jersey, and now live in Lake Tahoe with my husband and two children.

Besides always book through a travel advisor for added perks and benefits, I would say traveling during the shoulder season whenever possible will give you the best combination of better rates, fewer crowds, and good weather.– Kim’s Travel Tip
