Kate Andrews
Travel Advisor
Travel has always been more than a getaway for me – it’s a way to connect people to places, experiences, and each other. As a trusted travel advisor and a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in thoughtfully planned vacations for families with children, multigenerational groups, solo travelers, first-time travelers who may feel nervous, and individuals with special needs. I understand that travel can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make it exciting, accessible, and truly enjoyable from start to finish.

About Me
I am highly detail-oriented and take the time to answer questions thoroughly, because no detail is too small when it comes to a meaningful vacation. I genuinely care about my clients and am deeply invested in helping them feel confident and excited about their trip. My nursing background allows me to think holistically – considering both physical and mental health needs, and to help clients access extra supports when necessary.
I book destinations I know and love. Theme parks are a huge passion of mine, especially Disney destinations and Universal, where I’ve traveled for both leisure and professional training. I also adore cruising and the Caribbean, with Mexico holding a special place in my heart. As a certified “Mexpert,” I have access to up-to-date, in-depth knowledge on over 175 resorts and strong in-destination support.
One of the reasons I became a travel advisor was my son. Through our own experiences, I learned that even with cognitive challenges, travel is possible – and incredibly rewarding. I wanted to help others feel empowered to take trips they may not have thought were achievable.
What truly sets me apart is how deeply I listen. I take the time to understand what matters most to my clients and anticipate needs they may not even realize yet. Whether it’s planning a once-in-a-lifetime Disney trip, navigating a rebooking after a hurricane, or creating a meaningful vacation for a family facing health challenges, I am patient, non-judgmental, and committed every step of the way.
When I’m not traveling or planning trips, you’ll find me running (a passion of over 20 years), spending time with my close-knit family, enjoying my local market and coffee shop, or learning about new destinations and travel products. I live in St. Thomas, Ontario, where I was born and raised – and where my love for people, planning, and meaningful experiences continues to grow.
