READ MORE With parents in the Foreign Service, travel has been a fundamental part of Kathy’s life from the start—by age 18, she’d already been to more than 30 countries. Since joining B&R in 1994 Kathy has sold, designed and guided trips all over the world. As a Regional Director, she now channels her abundant energy and expertise into overseeing the design of trips throughout France & Western Europe for B&R.
Our Trip Designers would love to hear from you. Drop us a line and we’ll get back to you soon.
I love having the opportunity to hit the road and meet fellow travel fanatics from the industry or at our traveller events. Everyone has a story.
The trip to the Napa & Sonoma valleys Kathy planned for us was incredible. We had been to France with B&R before and appreciated the way they immersed in a foreign country, but we were pleasantly surprised to learn that the same kind of discovery could be had in our own backyard. From the biking to the hotels (and of course, the wine!), Kathy arranged an absolutely perfect trip for us.
- Louisa MarshallI never wanted my Provence trip to end! Every detail was arranged perfectly and Kathy was a pleasure to work with. She anticipated our needs, answered all of our questions thoroughly and then proceeded to totally exceed our expectations. The lavender and sights I expected but the incredible access and unforgettable memories were a (very) welcome surprise.
