Why Not Now Travels
Hi! I’m Karen - the travel advisor behind Why Not Now Travels. I’ve always loved exploring the world, but I never expected to turn that passion into a career. After years as a paralegal and in the nonprofit world, I “fell into” travel thinking it would be a fun side hustle… but it quickly became so much more.
Today, this is my full-time business and my full-heart passion. I specialize in seamless, custom journeys throughout Europe and cruises around the globe.
I believe life is unpredictable, so don’t wait for the “right time” to travel. The world is ready when you are… so why not now?
My Story
Travel has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. But my path into the travel world wasn’t exactly traditional. I spent years as a paralegal and in the nonprofit space before I “accidentally” discovered how incredible it feels to help others explore the world.
At first, I thought this would just be a cute little side hustle. But here’s the thing—side hustles are dreams without a plan. And this dream deserved a real one.
Today, travel planning is not just my full-time job… it’s my calling.
I specialize in Europe (especially Nordic and Scandinavian destinations) and cruises worldwide—from the Caribbean to the Arctic Circle. I’m committed to honest, thoughtful advice and seamless service, so you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.
When I’m not designing unforgettable journeys, you’ll find me:
-
Enjoying a good cup of coffee by the pool
-
Traveling with my supportive husband of 21 years
-
Cheering on my football-loving son
-
Applauding my daughter’s stage management magic at FSU
-
Hanging out with our dog, Chewie 🐾
Why Not Now Travels exists to help you live your travel dreams—no waiting, no “maybe later,” just meaningful experiences designed around you.
