Karen's Story

The name of my agency, Latitude 35, refers to the location of Kyoto, Japan where I lived in my early twenties. My travels have taken me to over 40 countries across six continents; around half of the trips were as a solo traveler. Solo travel is a phenomenal way to experience a place – if it’s something that has always interested you but seemed a little out of reach, I have a wealth of information to share and help you accomplish this dream. I love planning memorable journeys and providing my clients with top-notch, detailed service. Latitude 35 Travel – Dream Big, Tell the Tale!
