Luxury Crafted Travel. Inspired by a Life Abroad.
At Compass & Coast Vacations, we believe everyone deserves a touch of luxury. We design personalized cruise and land journeys, turning your travel dreams into stress-free, memorable, and premium realities.
Hi, I’m Katie, the founder of Compass and Coast Vacations. I am an Air Force veteran, current military spouse, and mom of three adventurous boys.
Over the past 20 years, my family and I have had the incredible experience of living and exploring overseas in places like Japan, Italy, and Germany, with South Korea soon to be next.
Living abroad has given me a deep appreciation for other cultures, new experiences, and the way travel can broaden perspectives for both adults and children.
Some of my greatest life memories have come from traveling the world with my family and watching our children learn through those experiences. Trying new foods, giving our kids the chance to experience history firsthand, and seeing how beautifully different cultures can be around the world.
That is what I want for my clients, too. I want travel to feel exciting, personal, and easy; not overwhelming. Whether you are planning a cruise, an all-inclusive getaway, or a custom international vacation, I bring both firsthand travel experience and thoughtful guidance to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

"I came to Katie in a mild panic over an upcoming trip in two days without any concrete plans. I’m not really good at creating itineraries, and when I was talking to her about it, she told me to just hold on. Within 24 hours, she had a three day itinerary complete with tickets purchased, hotel booked, and sightseeing points of interest ready to go. What a relief!
The trip was great, and undoubtedly Katie’s help was a major reason for that."
