Hi, I’m Karen Kalinowski! I live in Vernon Hills, Illinois with my husband, Dave—my high school sweetheart. We’re now proud empty nesters, as our two wonderful children, Josh and Haley, have grown up and begun exciting chapters of their own.
My passion for travel began over 28 years ago when I graduated from travel school, and ever since, I’ve been dedicated to helping families create unforgettable vacation experiences. From the magic of Disney and the excitement of Universal, to the adventure of cruising and the relaxation of all-inclusive resorts, I bring firsthand knowledge and personalized guidance to every trip I plan.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to experience every resort at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Orlando—giving me firsthand insight into what makes each one unique. My love for cruising began in 2014 when my family sailed on the Disney Dream, and we've never looked back! Since then, we've enjoyed seven magical voyages with Disney Cruise Line. I've also explored the seas on Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey, Wonder, Allure, and Utopia of the Seas, taken in the excitement of Perfect Day at CocoCay, and sailed on the Norwegian Encore out of New York City. Cruising has become my favorite way to vacation—it combines relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories all in one trip.
With decades of travel planning experience, I specialize in crafting customized, stress-free vacations. My services are always complimentary when you book a vacation package through me, and I love sharing my firsthand knowledge to help you make the most of your travel experience.
