Biography:

When I was growing up, every year my family went to the cabin my Grandpa Aaron built near Jackson Hole. I experienced how a family can form a special bond when they travel together. Later I planned our extended family trip to Disneyland and realized I was hooked!

What started as a part-time hobby more than 30 years ago has turned into a full-time career. I feel fortunate to have had some incredible experiences. Catching a 45 lb king salmon on the Kenai River, visiting Hobbiton in New Zealand, touring ancient castles in Germany, feeding the sharks in Bora Bora, attending the premier for Cars Land in Disneyland, and flying over Waimea Canyon in Kauai. To experience different cultures is incredible!

What's your dream vacation? I am passionate about travel and enjoy creating "once in a lifetime" memories for clients. I have planned vacations for many unique groups such as performance teams, high school trips, family reunions, Alaska fishing, and business incentive groups.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

"I appreciate Karen because she has gone on many of the same vacations our family is interested in. She can provide personal knowledge about various destinations, she is honest with us, and she always tries to get us a great deal."

"Karen has been our travel agent for over 10 years, and we will continue to turn to her for all our travel needs."

"Karen took time to explain options with us, which made me feel great. I will definitely call her again for our travel needs."

"I tried to do things on my own and was confused and spent many hours trying to plan our trip to Hawaii. Karen made it simple and gave some great suggestions. I will call Karen again. What a lifesaver!"

"I just want to compliment two amazing agents! Karen Johnson and Cindy Butler have been doing my Up with Kids! trips for many years now, but the Humanitarian Mexican Cruise that we just completed was so perfectly arranged, it far surpassed any trip yet! They really put their heart and soul into every detail, and the experience was "life changing" for everyone involved. If there is a 100% award.........they should receive the 200% award! I have loved and admired 'my girls' for years, but what they did for my students and parents will be appreciated forever. A huge 'hip hip' for the best group travel agents in Utah!"

I’ve never used a travel agent before. Laura was amazing! She made my trip planning so easy & had my entire itinerary over to me immediately. It actually blew my mind with how much stress it took off of my shoulders with planning. My trip was so smooth & I didn’t hit one road block the whole way. I highly recommend Laura — she’s the best!!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful 7-day cruise to Alaska aboard the NCL Encore. The beautiful Alaskan scenery was breathtaking, and we thoroughly enjoyed the ship’s food and entertainment. Laura Murdoch assisted us with all of our travel arrangements and took excellent care of us throughout the process. We truly appreciated her help and would be happy to work with her again!

Dream Vacation Entrant. Recently retired, we have not done a cruise prior but do enjoy traveling. My dream cruise would be through the inside passage (Alaska). My husband loves Mexico so this would be a great way to launch him on cruises.

I always enjoy listening to Larry Gelwix on KUTV news. We've been on a number of cruise trips but have not used Morris Columbus yet. We really want to go Alaska on our next cruise so planning to try Morris Columbus since we saw Larry talking about the Alaska cruise on the news a couple weeks ago.

I have been so impressed with the timeliness and prompt responses when I reach out to Morris Columbus travel. I had a wonderful time on a cruise booked through them to the New England Fall colors, and I loved going to the Fall Expo! I learned so much!

What I really appreciated after utilizing this office was, they did not bug me and harass me post-trip to book again immediately. They let me know they were there if I needed them. So refreshing not to be constantly contacted via phone, e-mail, etc.

Cross the Greek Islands Off Your Bucket List

Pictures of idyllic white-washed buildings over-looking the sea and clear blue water inviting visitors to jump in have fueled my desire to visit the Greek islands for years. Greece is more than ancient civilizations or harbors, more than the Olympics and olive groves. It is a culture as vibrant as
