Karen Schmiser

I started my career in the travel industry in 1987. In 1993, I earned the designation of Certified Travel Counselor from the Travel Institute in Wellesley, MA.

Throughout my career as a Travel Advisor, I have been fortunate to visit many destinations rich in culture, history, art, architecture, cuisine and incredible natural beauty. A few highlights of my travels have included walking on the Great Wall of China, traveling on the Hiram Bingham train to visit the breathtaking Incan citadel of Machu Picchu, celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary with dinner at Le Jules Verne in the Eiffel Tower, and a private boat cruise on Lake Como, one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.

For destinations I have not experienced, my affiliation with Virtuoso grants me access to local experts around the world who arrange exclusive tours and excursions for my clients.

Whether you desire over-the-top luxury or something more scaled back, I listen to what you want in designing the trip of your dreams. I am focused on every aspect to ensure your time and money are well spent. I look forward to planning with you for many years to come.
