My Story
journalist turned luxury travel consultant
I’m Kelly
I founded Kelly K Travel in 2017 as a resource for travelers who share my passion for discovering beautiful places and creating meaningful memories. What began as a personal calling quickly evolved into a thriving business built on trust, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to service.
From journalist to journey-maker
I turned my passion for storytelling into unforgettable luxury travel experiences.
Before launching my travel consultancy, I spent years as a television news anchor and reporter — a career that honed my storytelling instincts and deepened my curiosity about the world. Today, I brings that same narrative sensibility to my work as a travel advisor, crafting custom itineraries that reflect each client’s individual travel style while offering a strong sense of place.
My background in journalism also informs my attention to detail: from the pacing of a trip to the balance between adventure and ease, every element is thoughtfully considered. Clients return to my agency not only for my refined taste and insider access, but for the warmth and care I bring to every journey.
I live on the North Shore of Chicago with my husband and three young children. When I’m not curating trips around the globe, you’ll find me at home, likely chasing my kids, matcha in hand, and already dreaming of the next destination.
