This area is ✨gold✨ — just reformat it a bit for easier reading.
Sun-soaked beaches, tacos that will ruin all other tacos, and ancient ruins tucked between jungle and sea. Whether you're snorkeling with sea turtles in Cozumel, dancing on Fifth Avenue in Playa, or taking a dip in a cenote near Tulum—Mexico delivers adventure, flavor, and total chill.
Island time hits different in Jamaica. Float the Martha Brae, climb Dunn’s River Falls, and eat jerk chicken fresh off the grill (trust me—it’s a life moment). The reggae vibes, lush mountains, and golden beaches? Irresistible. Don’t leave without a Red Stripe and a sunset photo.
Picture-perfect beaches meet rich Caribbean culture. Sip mamajuana like a local, ride ATVs through sugar cane fields, or tour colonial-era forts. From poolside coconuts to vibrant nightlife, the DR mixes relaxation with unexpected magic. Pro tip: The seafood? Next level.
Unpack once. Wake up somewhere new. That’s the cruise magic. From sipping mojitos in the Bahamas to glacier-spotting in Alaska or pasta-filled port days in Italy—there’s a sailing for every kind of traveler. And yes, there’s unlimited food, shows, and sunshine.
Whether you’re craving Butterbeer at Hogwarts or belting show tunes with Mickey, these parks are pure magic. I help you skip lines, get the best park-hopper passes, and plan snack stops like a pro (👋🏾 churros + Dole Whip). From thrill rides to character hugs—every moment counts
From red rocks and rodeos to beach towns and big cities—the U.S. has gems for every kind of traveler. Think: hiking in Sedona, Cuban eats in Miami, music in Austin, mountain air in Denver, or wine tasting in Napa. It’s all closer (and cooler) than you think.
Traveled to Cancun ~ Mexico
Karis went above and beyond, and not just on booking my travel bundle. I have used other TA’s in the past and their involvement usually ended once the vacation was booked, but not Karis. She was on top of everything when we missed our connecting flight making sure the airline got us vouchers and hotel accommodations. When the airline lost our luggage she stayed up until nearly midnight tracking them down to ensure they would at least be at our destination when we arrived. Once we made it to our resort I messaged her about some issues I had with our room and she promptly alerted the resort, I had someone knocking on my door 2 hours later to rectify all the issues. Once we made it home she helped me file the claim for our travel delay, lost luggage, and travel interruption. I will definitely be using Karis as my TA for all future travel adventures!!
Traveling to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic
Karis was great to work with. My wife and I have never traveled to the Caribbean and had no idea what options we had, other than a long list on Google. The process couldn't have been any easier for us and Karis was always available to answer our (too numerous) questions. Travel plans have never been so easy thanks to her. We will definitely use her services again. Thanks for everything....Bob and Mary.

Appreciation post for our amazing incredible travel advisor Karis Joyce Shaffer at Karismatic Adventures #mykarismaticadventures. This was the first time Dillon and I have ever traveled out of the country and our first time flying together, being responsible for our selves. Karis was there for us every step of the way! She was able to answer every question asap and never made me feel silly or like a huge bother! When we had big bumps in the road she was on top of it! She also gifted us these beautiful tumblers to use on our trip! Because not only does she do vacations but she also makes beautiful things at Karismatic Creations Who does that!?!?! Please please please go like, follow, and message her for any of your vacation planning, beautiful things needing, etc!! So wonderfully blessed to have her guidance on our first trip out of the United States!!!! And when I say 1st- we were super newbies lol embarrassingly so!! Karis thank you so much for everything you do!!!!!!
