Meet Kathy

---

It all began at age 28 when I purchased a Round-the-World ticket.

After working a full-time job by day and attending college at night, I spent years either studying or working—all while living in a rent-controlled apartment that allowed me to save a meaningful amount of money.

With a $35-a-day budget, I set off on a 7-month journey. Alone and afraid, yet deeply in search of adventure. My poor Italian father thought I had lost my mind! There were no cell phones, no computers—just instinct, curiosity, and courage.

That trip changed me forever. I was instantly hooked.

Over the past 35+ years, I’ve continued exploring the world, fulfilling one bucket list after another (I’m currently on my fourth!). I once believed you should never return to the same place—but I’ve since learned that some destinations call you back, because a piece of your heart remains there.

I truly believe that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. 

After a successful career as a professional meeting and event planner, entrepreneur, and certified international etiquette consultant, I find myself at a new crossroads—ready to share my experience, knowledge, and passion for travel with others around the world.
