Who We Are
About Kathie
Kathie began her journey in the travel business with Carlson Wagonlit Travel in 2009, crafting custom itineraries on a part-time basis. In 2013, after helping friends of the family plan a trip to Ireland and Scotland, she wanted to highlight her expertise and created It's Celtic Time! Her passion for travel grew, leading her to transition to a full-time travel agency owner. A transformative six-week European trip in 2019, which included a memorable sail on the Romantic Danube, sparked her love for river cruising.
Since then, Kathie has enriched her expertise by attending the ASTA River Cruise Expo twice, gaining deep insights into the various cruise lines and the rivers they explore. Her specialty now lies in creating bespoke itineraries for small ships and small groups.
Kathie is dedicated to working closely with her clients to understand their preferences, ensuring each trip she designs is unique and enriching.
Kathie is a full service Travel Agent, AmaWaterways River Cruise Certified, Disney Cruise Line Certified, Tourism Ireland Specialist, and a CIE Tours Ireland Expert and a Certified Sandals Specialist.
Plus she is IATAN (International Airlines Travel Agent Network) Accredited.

“Thank you for everything Kathie! We had an amazing trip! Having a driver guide made all the difference and he took such great care of us! He made my mom his top priority and made the most out of our time together in Ireland. It was a trip of a lifetime, and I am so grateful for the precious time spent and memories made with my family!”
