Owner, Sr. Travel Specialist

I'm Karen, the proud founder of LatitudesPlus-Smart Travel. It all started over 20 years ago, right here in Brooklin, in the basement of my mom's house. I've poured my heart and soul into building this agency from scratch, and today, it's a testament to my passion for travel and dedication to excellence.

With over 40 years of experience in the travel industry, I've seen it all. From the highs of breathtaking adventures to the lows of unexpected hiccups, I've been there for my clients every step of the way. At LatitudesPlus~Smart Travel, we take the guesswork and worry out of your hands, so you can focus on what truly matters: making memories that last a lifetime.

But it's not just about business for me. I'm a fierce advocate for female entrepreneurs and small business owners everywhere. I believe in lifting others up and helping them succeed, just as I've been fortunate enough to do with my own journey.

My commitment to excellence has been recognized through numerous awards over the years, a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team. And I'm constantly striving to stay at the forefront of our industry, attending webinars and training sessions to ensure that we're always offering the best possible service to our clients.

In addition to my work with clients, I also have the honor of serving on several suppliers' advisory boards, where I lend my expertise to help shape the future of our industry. It's an opportunity I cherish, as it allows me to contribute to the growth and development of the travel community as a whole.

I've been fortunate to have traveled to so many incredible places over the years, but if I had to pick a few favorites, they would have to be the stunning coastlines of Greece. There's something magical about the combination of crystal-clear waters, ancient history, and delicious cuisine that keeps drawing me back.

A river cruise along the Danube is truly a remarkable experience. Picture yourself leisurely drifting through some of Europe's most picturesque landscapes. From the rolling hills of the Wachau Valley to the dramatic cliffs of the Iron Gates, every twist and turn of the river reveals a new and captivating vista.

So whether you're dreaming of a tropical getaway, an adrenaline-fueled adventure, or a cozy retreat off the beaten path, I'm here to make it happen. Let's turn your travel dreams into reality, together.
