It starts with a spark… ✨

Maybe it’s an anniversary that snuck up on you.
Maybe it’s a honeymoon you’ve been dreaming of forever.
Or maybe… it’s just a random Tuesday when you look at each other and say,
“Let’s get away.”

Sometimes love needs a grand adventure.
Sometimes it just needs a weekend escape.
And sometimes… well, sometimes you just need a getaway where no one asks questions. 😉

I’ve helped couples plan unforgettable honeymoons, surprise anniversary trips, “just because” weekends, and yes — even a few of those mystery getaways we don’t put on social media.

No matter the reason, no matter the destination — I’m here to help you make it happen. ✈️💞

Let’s plan your next story together.

 Monday Musings…

Just over here running my brain on overdrive, trying to come up with fresh ways to connect with you. Honestly? I’m pretty sure my blog readership is sitting at a solid zero (unless you count me reading it back to myself). 😆 And let’s be real… I’m terrible at keeping it updated with specials, deals, or even regular posts.

I’ve been having more fun on TikTok lately — though I’m definitely no creative genius — so let’s just say my content is a work in progress. 😉

BUT… I’m excited to kick off a new feature starting Tuesdays:

I’ll do my best to remember to share here too (And yes, I’m literally about to go create that category now while I’m thinking about it!)

I promise not to overwhelm you with endless deals and offers — I get it, not everything I share will be for everyone. I’m still figuring out my niche. While cruising is definitely my specialty, I plan all types of travel — from quick hotel getaways to bucket-list adventures and everything in between.
And yes… I’ll help you plan your trip for FREE (unless you’re booking one of my Surprise Me Vacations — those do have a small planning fee).

Just some random Monday thoughts… stay tuned for Tuesday!

 ✈️ From “Why Use a Travel Advisor?” to “Let’s Go!” 🌍

By Kathryn Hrapek – Your Adventure-Obsessed Travel Bestie

There’s something magical about watching your dreams unfold, one destination at a time. When I launched my travel advising journey, I knew I wanted to do more than just plan vacations—I wanted to create experiences. The kind that become stories you tell for years. The kind that make your heart race. The kind that say, “Yes, this is exactly where I was meant to be.”

And I’ve been busy behind the scenes, continuing to grow and learn so I can serve you even better. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve recently completed two amazing certifications:

📜 Costa Rica Specialist Program – I’m now a certified expert on this lush, adventure-packed paradise. Whether you want to explore volcanoes, zipline through rainforests, or relax on a Pacific beach, I’ve got you covered!

🚢 Viking Expedition Cruises Expert – I’ve also completed my training with Viking Cruises. From polar expeditions to cultural journeys that dive deep into history and heritage, I can now help you experience Viking voyages like never before.

And of course, I’m always here to make your travel experience effortless and exciting. As a travel advisor, I save you time, stress, and even money—with NO hold music, no guesswork, and no cost to use me! 🙌

Let’s plan a surprise getaway. A family cruise. A romantic escape. That bucket-list dream.
Wherever you're dreaming of going—I'm ready when you are.

💭 So tell me… what destination or travel style should I study next?
I want to know what excites you!

 I hope everyone had the mostest bestest weekend — I sure did!

While some were soaking up the sun, I was diving headfirst into travel advisor training, gearing up for all the exciting adventures ahead. Whether it’s your dream vacation or one of my own explorations, I believe staying sharp and informed makes the journey even smoother.

✨ Big news: I’m now officially a Certified Travel Advisor with Fora — and I’m already working on my Advanced Certification! 🎉

This means I can now book, plan, and manage your travels with even more tools, knowledge, and perks at my fingertips. Over the weekend, I knocked out a ton of training (yes, nerd alert) and even started working on my cruise certifications — which may just be where my heart’s headed. As I’m taking these exams and quizzes, I’m scoring 100% across the board... so I might know a thing or two about cruising! 🚢😉

For now, I’m soaking up all the knowledge, exploring every corner of the industry, and preparing to help you plan the trip of your dreams.

Got questions? Want to explore options? Just ready to pack a bag and go?

📩 Let’s chat. Your next adventure awaits — and I’d love to help you get there.
