How I Work

From Dream to Departure

01.
Planning a trip — journal, travel photos, coffee and laptop on a desk
Step 1

Discovery Call

Before a single hotel is researched or flight considered, we talk. A complimentary discovery call where I get to know you — your travel style, who's coming along, and what would make this trip feel like yours. Come ready to dream out loud.

02.
Client commitment — travel planning details
Step 2

Client Commitment

Once we've aligned on the scope of the trip, I'll send over a planning agreement and collect the planning fee based on the service level selected. This step secures your spot on my calendar and officially kicks off the planning process — welcome to the KMK family!

Design From Scratch

No two of my clients receive the same itinerary. Using my network of trusted partners and personal travel experience, I'll design your trip from scratch — the right hotels, the right pace, the right experiences woven in at exactly the right moments. You'll receive curated options, unique experiences, and every added detail you might need, like transfers, tours, and dining suggestions, all tailored to you.

Handle Every Detail

The room with the view you didn't know to ask for. The reservation that isn't supposed to be possible. Behind every seamless arrival is a long list of details you never had to think about — transfers arranged, preferences communicated, special occasions noted, contingencies planned. I handle all of it, quietly and completely, so that when you arrive, you're free to simply be present.

Virtuoso Advantages

Virtuoso membership isn't just a credential — it's a key. One that unlocks exclusive amenities, preferred rates and deeply personal relationships with the most celebrated hotels, cruise lines and operators on earth. These are benefits you simply cannot book on your own, no matter how long you search.

Bon Voyage

From first conversation to final night, I'm your point of contact. Available before you go, reachable while you're there, and genuinely invested in every chapter of the journey — including the one you tell me about over coffee when you return.
