the kst way
experience
Every trip I plan starts with one thing: you. From hotels and flights to restaurants, private guides, and experiences you won’t find online, I design itineraries that are entirely your own. Think seamless logistics, VIP perks, and thoughtful details along the way that turn your trip into a story.
Because this isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how you experience it.
That might look like a boutique hotel in Paris with just the right balcony view, a guide in Tokyo who brings the city’s icons to life, or a private tasting in Tuscany arranged by someone who knows the winemaker personally. It’s about the restaurants you’ll still be talking about years later, and the villa that feels like it was meant for your family all along.
Behind the scenes, I manage every moving part — proposals, bookings, confirmations, and coordination — with the goal of keeping the process as easy for you as possible. You get the experience of showing up to a fully prepared trip, while I handle the details that make it all work.
At the end of the day, the best trips aren’t just seen, they’re experienced — layered with detail, style, and a sense of discovery. That’s the Katie Shea Travel experience.
As goes for anything, it’s all about
who you know.
Lucky for you, I’ve built personal relationships with on-the-ground service providers and property owners all over the world—from the GM at a lodge in the African bush, the long-time driver who will tell you all about the local tea en route, to the concierge at that coveted hotel near Covent Garden.
As a Major Traveler advisor, an affiliate of Jetset World Travel, and member of the Virtuoso Network (the travel industry’s leading luxury network, no biggie)— girl’s got connections.
With these affiliations, you’ll feel like a celebrity
with exclusive amenities and VIP treatment.
