Kat has planned a number of trips for us as a family. She took care of everything, and made a trip to remember. She not only takes care of all the traveling and cruise details, but make suggestions and researches to be sure it is a great vacation. Thanks!

Hi, I'm Kat!
With an Air Force background and a passion for meaningful travel, I created Escape 89° West to help travelers experience the world without the stress of planning.
Rooted At 89° West—Your Escape Starts Here.
"Kat planned my 60th birthday cruise for me, my kids and grandkids, we visited 6 islands with land excursions which she also coordinated for us, she was very detailed and kept me up on what we were doing and it was the best birthday experience I've ever had and will definitely be calling her for my next vacation."
