We specialize in tailoring each vacation to fit your unique needs and dreams.
KHC Grand Travel provides a full-service travel planning experience. With so many options and destinations, we know planning travel can be overwhelming. Do you long for days relaxing in the sun on gorgeous white sandy beaches or conquering a mountain hike full of adventure? Do you want your itinerary to be full of activities or relaxed to allow the day to lead you where it may? Or, let’s be honest, you may not even know what you want at this point . . . and that is ok. We can help!
We will walk you through the entire planning process -- from the decisions on where and when to travel, to your transportation home. We plan ALL destinations and can offer you special amenities and perks at locations throughout the world (on land and sea) through our affiliation with the Gifted Travel Network, a Virtuoso member agency. Our priority is creating a GRAND travel experience for you, and we do it well.

Travel brings so many emotions. Travel is living. My mom gave me a picture I hung in my office that reminds me, "We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us."

Professional Life: I received a Ducktorate degree from Walt Disney World after spending two semesters participating in internships. I also received a BS in Finance from Auburn University (War Eagle!) and returned to Walt Disney World to begin my career in Finance. As dreams do come true, I met my husband, Josh, beneath Cinderella's Castle. After our first child was born, I retired early and focused on raising our family. Three children and countless trips later, I knew I was ready to help others find the joy in traveling. I started my career with Disney planning due to my background and expertise, but quickly expanded my knowledge and planning base to include the Caribbean and Europe - YES, I book MORE THAN DISNEY.
I have built my business solely from referrals, a testament to my knowledge, attention to detail, and impeccable guest service (after all, I did work for Disney). After five years and many trips planned, I knew it was the right time to launch my own travel company planning GRAND travel for my clients. I make your family's travel plans (and your understanding the plans!) my priority - so you never need a vacation from your vacation. Tailored vacations and placing your needs and dreams first are my specialty. I often say that the itinerary which works best for your best friend or sister is not necessarily the itinerary that will work best for you, and THAT’s what I want to build – the vacation that is wonderful, having more importance than others, or foremost . . . the vacation that is GRAND.
Fun Fact: When naming my company, I knew "Grand" was the right word to embody my goals for each vacation I plan, and besides... we lived on Grand Avenue in downtown Chicago, my favorite city.
Favorite destinations: British Isles, Hawaii, Paris, Chicago, Walt Disney World
On the to-do (go) list: Alaska, Germany, Greece, Grand Canyon and Arches National Park
