Travel Advisor Profile

Carol McKee

Advisor Brief

Some advisors specialize in a region. I specialize in the traveler.

I’ve stood on the ice in Antarctica, watched the wildlife in the Galapagos, tracked elephants in Africa, and gotten happily lost in more European towns than I can count (my map tells that story better than I can). Those trips don’t just look good on a wall. They shape how I plan for you.

I ask a lot of questions before I book anything. What you want to feel on this trip matters as much as where you want to go. Pace, comfort level, the right balance of structured and spontaneous. I match you with itineraries and partners that deliver the real experience, not the tourist version of it.

About Me

I didn’t fall into travel advising. I walked straight into it, passport first.

After years of collecting trips the way other people collect excuses not to take them, I turned what I knew into what I do. I’ve been planning travel professionally for 11+ years, and I’ve spent that time building something that looks less like a booking service and more like a partnership. My clients don’t hand me a destination and wait. They tell me what they want to feel, and I build the trip around that.

 

How I work

We start with a conversation, not a form. I want to know what kind of traveler you are, what’s been on your list for years, what you’ve tried before, and what you’d do differently. From there I research, curate, and present options that actually fit. I work with in-destination partners and vetted operators, so what you’re getting isn’t a package off a shelf. It’s a trip built with real relationships on the ground.

I handle the logistics, the communications, the contingency planning, and the what-do-I-do-if questions. You handle the packing.

 

Where I’ve been

Antarctica. The Galapagos. The Arctic. Africa. Across Europe more times than I can map neatly, from Paris to the Irish countryside to places you’ve probably never heard of that I’ll happily talk your ear off about. My own travel informs every recommendation I make. When I suggest an expedition ship or a safari camp or a river cruise itinerary, it’s because I know what good looks like.

 

What I book

Expedition voyages. Small ship and river cruises. African safaris. European itineraries by land, sea, or both. Cultural journeys, anniversary trips, bucket list trips, and the kind of travel you’ve been putting off for twenty years and are finally ready to do. If you’re looking for a bargain aggregator site, I’m not your person. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your trip like it matters, I am.
