About

Hey there, I’m Katy, and travel has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. From family vacations, to following my parents on business trips, I was lucky enough to experience a lot of the United States in my early years, but it wasn't until my first overseas vacation that I knew I wanted to explore as much of the world as I possibly could. In 10th grade, by some miracle, I was presented an opportunity to travel to New Zealand with my friend and her mom. We spent 3 weeks there immersing ourselves in the culture. Because my friend's mom grew up in New Zealand, and had family members who we visited, I got to see a side that not many tourists have seen.

From there, my wanderlust has only grown, which is what has led me to Adventure IRL Travel Agency. I personally have a mission to bring the world a little closer to those who dream of adventure. Whether you’re hoping to ride a roller coaster in Orlando, or a camel in Egypt, I’ve got you covered.

Our tagline at Adventure IRL is “Real Life Adventures” and we truly mean that. It’s one thing to experience the world from the comfort of your home, it’s entirely different to experience the world in real life. Being a travel agent is not just a job for me, it’s a calling. I spend my days researching hidden gems, seeing out unique experiences, and building relationships with accredited vendors who can offer an authentic taste of each destination.

As your travel companion, I am committed to crafting bespoke adventures tailored to your desires. Whether you seek the thrill of an adrenaline-fueled escapade or the serenity of a secluded beach, I am here to turn your travel aspirations into a reality. Let’s embark on a journey together, where the world becomes your playground, and every destination becomes a chapter waiting to be written about your real-life adventure.
