About Kate

Travel planning should feel personal, not transactional.

Storied Tides was created from a simple belief: the best trips are not the ones with the most options. They are the ones that fit the traveler, leaving them with lifelong memories.

I help clients sort through the noise and make thoughtful decisions about cruises and curated vacations based on what actually matters to them—their pace, priorities, comfort level, interests, and budget.

My approach is personal, organized, and honest. I am not here to push a particular cruise line, resort, or itinerary. My job is to help you understand the meaningful differences, avoid poor-fit choices, and feel confident in the travel experience you choose.

I bring both firsthand travel experience and years of professional leadership experience to the planning process. That background has shaped how I work: paying attention to details, communicating clearly, anticipating problems, and keeping complicated processes manageable.

Cruising is a major focus of Storied Tides, and I have experience across a range of cruise styles and destinations, including the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Alaska. I have also co-hosted group sailings, which gave me firsthand experience with the coordination and communication required to make group travel run smoothly.

Most importantly, I want travel to feel exciting rather than overwhelming. My goal is to make the planning process easier, help you choose well, and create a journey that feels like yours.

A little about me

When I’m not planning travel, I’m usually spending time with family, exploring somewhere new, or thinking about the next getaway worth taking.

Journeys Worth Sharing is more than a tagline. It is the standard I want every Storied Tides trip to meet.
