Karen Cantwell

After 35+ years in the technology industry, I changed careers to join McCabe World Travel as an independent Luxury Travel Advisor. My personal passion is to explore and share the excitement of spectacular scenery, natural wonders, new cultures, great art and history. As a luxury Travel Advisor, I sincerely hope to inspire clients to dream, explore and experience the wonders of the world.

I grew up in a family of travelers, beginning with my grandparents' inspired first trip to Europe and our family's many relocations (and new discoveries!) resulting from my father's career as a U.S. Air Force officer. In addition to the U.S., I lived in Belgium and Germany and attended school in Brussels and Munich. A few decades later, I can count visits to more than 30 countries on four continents.

Travel is the best bonding experience one can enjoy with loved ones! Please reach out to me at karen@ascendluxtravel.com or 703-675-1513 to let me know your desired destinations and preferred experiences. Whether it be European castles and coastlines, a cruise, a South Pacific resort or a trip to Morocco and the Sahara, I am excited to weave together spectacular travel experiences and new discoveries for you!
