Favorite Port of Call Visited on a Cruise: Castaway Cay
Favorite Walt Disney World Attraction: Journey into Imagination with Figment #1 Destination on Your Bucket List: Italy I am fortunate to have a career that lets me share the joy of travel with the world. I'm a lifelong Bostonian; I count myself lucky that this beautiful city has instilled a love of history and culture in my life. In addition to my passion for travel, I love music and theater, food and wine, and spending time with my husband and daughter at home and on vacation.
In 2019, I was named one of Travel Agent's '30 Under 30' and I am so proud of that. My colleagues and I were recognized as ''the next generation of agents who will discover new places to go and new ways to connect with travelers. They exist in a 24/7 world of nonstop information, and communicate with each other, with other industry professionals and with clients through multiple platforms. They tweet. They share. They snap pictures and chat about their experiences. And they sell travel in ways that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.' I am honored to be a part of this community of young professionals! |

What my clients are saying..."Kayla took time to learn about my families wants, needs, likes and dislikes to help us craft the perfect vacation for us. Her personal touches made everything go as smoothly as possible and we felt prepared. Every question I had, she answered. She researched for us. She took her time, and was always responsive. I would use Kayla for EVERY trip. Everyone I speak to is impressed by how awesome she is and how far she went to make our vacation unique. BEST EVER!"
"Kayla has been absolutely amazing to work with. I had to put together a day trip for the family office that I work for. It included 37 people, VIP tour guides, lunch reservations, dinner reservations, reserved seating for the parade and fireworks, etc. There were even some last minute changes to the guest list all of which Kayla helped to accommodate and help make this family's trip to Disneyland in California a magical experience. Thank you Kayla for everything you did to help make this trip an overwhelming success! Everyone had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend working with Kayla for your travel needs!" "Kayla continuously went above and beyond in planning our family event, that was not an easy task at all. She negotiated many personalities within our 30 plus attendees. She had an abundance of knowledge of Walt Disney World which was so beneficial in making our time count for the short week we had to enjoy all that Walt Disney World has to offer. In my business I have dealt with a lot of travel agents and Kayla has the extra special gift of being completely passionate about your dream vacation. She set this up as if it was her own family's vacation and that is a special gift. She is a keeper!" "It has been such a relief knowing our vacation was put in such capable hands; you deserve recognition for your efforts and the personal touches you provide. You made me feel like I was your only client, answered every silly question, calmed me down with logic and planning...honestly, there is no way I would have been able to plan this. You are a breath of fresh air and I cannot say thank you enough!" |

Certified Travel AssociateAfter my first year as an advisor, I knew I needed more extensive training to accomplish my goals. Completing the Certified Travel Associate (CTA) program took six months of intense work, but I learned how to set myself apart as a professional in the travel industry. Having earned my CTA, I am a more efficient and organized planner with expansive destination knowledge and fine-tuned customer service skills. My biggest takeaway was learning how to use my superpower: matching my clients with their ideal vacation experience.

Serving Travelers with Special NeedIn 2018, I earned my certification as an Certified Autism Travel Professional™ (CATP). I pride myself on my knowledge of each destination so I can best match and prepare families for a vacation they're really going to enjoy. In addition to my CATP, I took the Certified Accessible Travel Advocate certification course with the Special Needs Group. They pride themselves on making the world accessible for anyone who wants to get out there and see it, and I'm fortunate to call them a travel partner. From wheelchair and scooter rentals to oxygen and respiratory equipment and beyond, together we can make a vacation dream come true for any family.

Whimsical WeddingsAfter two years planning only family and group vacations, a client asked me to plan their destination wedding. I was immediately hooked! I spent two years completing extensive Destination Wedding, Honeymoon, and Romance Travel Specialist training. With the opening of Whimsical Wishes Travel Concierge, I've decided to operate Whimsical Weddings by Whimsical Wishes Travel Concierge as a specialized branch within our agency. I'm looking forward to planning many happy couples' celebrations.
