Karrie Locher, Disney Princess

Karrie has been in the travel industry since 1991 and her first real trip was to Mazatlan, still a favourite destination to this day. She has traveled all over the Caribbean and Mexico and have visited Disneyland 10+ times, so it's safe to say Disney is her absolute favourite, especially sharing with family.  Karrie’s most memorable trip was to the Daytona 500 with her dad in 2005 - that it was an experience never to be duplicated.  She has extensive experience with all the popular beach destinations, and definitely an expert with all things Disney and is a Commodore with Princess & Cunard Cruises. She married her high school best friend & has two great teenagers who are always willing for another go at Disney!! Karrie can be reached at karrietraveldesk@gmail.com


Kristen "New Trip, New Shoes" McHausler

Kristen at the Arc De Triomphe, paris

Kristen was born with the travel bug (super incurable) and even though she's tried to suppress it (okay, she hasn't really tried *that* hard), the travel bug runs strong in her.
She has explored parts of Europe, Central America, bits of the Caribbean, Canada & the USA, however she still has so much more to knock off her list!
Top destinations include Germany & Costa Rica, and her absolute favourite thing to do is travelling off-season in a brand new pair of shoes. Her favourite pair (Germany) were worn out before her trip was even over!
Quirky trait? She loves all random hobbies, and intends to try as many at least once in her lifetime (including but not limited to playing the Ukulele, cake decorating, knitting, calligraphy and more).
