Karen McAlpin
Karen McAlpin doesn’t just plan trips; she designs them. She works closely with each client to get a feel for their unique needs and expectations for the trip and then matches those with a destination. As the process continues, she tweaks and adjusts the details so that the final itinerary and experience is completely tailored to the client. Karen enjoys forming a relationship with each client during the planning process. She encourages clients to share their likes and dislikes about past trips and uses this information to help them discover what they would like to achieve on their next trip.
With her keen eye for detail and knack for creativity, it comes as no surprise that Karen was an interior designer before joining the Brownell Mentoring Program in 2012.

A great planner
By Andrew, 06 May 2025
Recommended - We asked Karen to build a trip around a specific date of travel on the Royal Scotsman. What she built was an amazing and unforgettable experience! Karen listened to our ideas, improved on them and provided guidance for this journey. She and her connections absolutely made our travels to Scotland one of best trips we have taken. We have referred her to others and she is beginning to assist us with fall travel. She is knowledgeable, engaging, responsive and so easy to work with.

The best for Disney!

Recommended - This was our second Disney trip planned with Karen and I cannot recommend her enough! It took all the stress out of planning to have her get us all booked and ready to go. I really appreciated her honesty and expertise - it made me feel great about all decisions we made. We had the best trip, thanks to her!
