Hi — I’m Kate. I design and host story-driven journeys for people who care about how travel feels, not just where it goes.
I’ll be with you throughout this trip making sure everything runs smoothly, the pace feels right, and no one is overwhelmed — especially when traveling as a family. I believe the best trips leave space for connection, wonder, and ease. My job is to handle the details quietly so you can be fully present with your people.
I travel alongside you — not from behind a desk.

Kids’ programming on this journey is led by Christy Schillig, an author and experienced teacher who knows how to make learning feel fun, creative, and relaxed.
Christy creates age-appropriate activities inspired by the places we visit — storytelling, hands-on projects, and cultural exploration that help kids engage while parents enjoy a little breathing room. It’s not a kids’ club and not babysitting — it’s thoughtful enrichment woven into the trip.
