Do you remember the anticipation of travelling somewhere near or far for the very first time? Of how excited you were when dreaming of the adventures yet to unfold?
“That’s the journey I look forward to planning with you – from start to finish” says Karina. “From choosing the destination to answering all of your questions and offering you all my tips and tricks, I will ensure you are on your way to a fantastic holiday.”
One of Karina's most significant travel memories is when she visited a remote African orphanage in Uganda and got to know the amazing staff and orphaned children who were being looked after. Just to interact and play games with the children is a moment she will never forget.
This travel story gives you an idea of the kind of travel advisor Karina is – she has an appreciation for not only exploring new destinations but truly immersing herself in the culture and trying to understand the local people.
There is nothing more satisfying to Karina than creating the perfect experience for her clients and hearing their excitement upon returning from their lovingly planned holiday. Her strength is people – understanding them, connecting with them and knowing how to prepare the perfect travel itinerary.
Karina has travelled to over 52 countries and has had the opportunity to gather new tips and tricks along the way which has greatly helped her become the great travel advisor she is today. She is especially passionate about curating self-drive holiday adventures and luxury stays in a variety of accommodations. A great example of this is when she visited the Hawaiian Islands which included the Big Island, Maui, Kauai and Oahu where she created an action-packed itinerary. From swimming with Manta Rays on the Big Island, to seeing the Haleakala Sunrise from almost 10,000 feet above sea level and then bike riding 38km downhill to the Northshore of Maui, to exploring the Waimea Canyons in Kauai in a red convertible car.
“I have grown to learn that everybody's tastes are different, and I will get to know each and every client to provide the best recommendations that suit their needs.”
She believes communication is key and that people want to be kept informed and updated throughout the booking process. She has a warm and friendly nature which makes her very approachable and prides herself on being organised with a high attention to detail.
