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.

"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!"
