Meet Your Alexandria Travel Advisors
Kassondra R. – Travel Advisor
Travel Specialties: Asia, SCUBA Diving Vacations, National Parks, Hiking & Adventure Travel
Meet Kassondra
Kassondra specializes in helping travelers explore Asia and plan adventure-focused vacations. As a PADI Advanced Open Water SCUBA Diver, avid hiker, and backpack camper, she brings firsthand outdoor experience to her travel planning.
Her travels have taken her to destinations including Costa Rica, Bali, and India, and she enjoys helping clients discover memorable experiences around the world. Her travel bucket list includes Norway, Antarctica, Thailand, and seeing the infamous underwater waterfall of Mauritius.
Top Travel Tip? Talk with your advisor about the cultural Do’s and Don’ts of your upcoming international travels. Many things we do here in America can be interpreted much differently in another country. I also take the time to learn a few phrases in the native tongue, specifically “please,” “thank you,” and “where is the bathroom?”
Best For: Travelers interested in Asian destinations, diving vacations, national parks, and outdoor adventures.
Kathleen B. – Travel Advisor
Travel Specialties: United Kingdom, Scandinavia, European Vacations, Christmas Markets
Meet Kathleen
Kathleen specializes in European travel, with a particular interest in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Christmas market itineraries.
A lifelong traveler, her experiences include a solo transatlantic crossing aboard the Queen Mary 2 and exploring Finland.
She particularly enjoys helping travelers discover authentic experiences and recommends considering shoulder-season travel for smaller crowds and a more relaxed vacation.
Kathleen’s travel bucket list includes a big trip around Poland! She’s spent years researching her family history and genealogy, and would love the opportunity to visit the towns, churches, and places that played a role in her family’s story.
Top Travel Tip? Consider traveling during the shoulder season whenever possible. You’ll often find smaller crowds, better availability, and a more relaxed experience overall. It’s also a great time to connect with locals and experience a destination without the rush of peak tourist season.
Best For: Travelers planning European vacations, UK and Scandinavian trips, or Christmas market experiences.
