Uniquely Yours, Expertly Planned

Hi, I'm Karen G., Owner and Chief Travel Designer of The Pampered Tourist®

I traded a globe-trotting corporate career for the work that truly lights me up: designing celebration journeys and bucket-list adventures for people who value their time, crave authentic experiences, and love to mark life's big moments in style.

Planning these trips is genuinely my honor. I get to know each client deeply, then sweat every detail so you don't have to. From updating phone plans before departure to making sure every hotel knows what you're celebrating and what's in your glass when you arrive, I have your back completely.

My clients are parents, grandparents, couples, and friend groups who want to wander like a local and hit every highlight, all while staying fully present with the people they love. Honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, bucket-list moments... if it's worth celebrating, it's worth doing beautifully.

The best part of my job? Seeing your vacation photos and hearing every story when you're back home. That never gets old.

The Pampered Tourist® - Specializing in Asia, Europe, and Africa destinations — We handle the details. You make the memories.
