Designing Dream Multi-Generational Adventures

<p>Planning a family reunion or a multi-generational trip can be daunting, with so many details to consider and preferences to accommodate. That's where I come in. As a dedicated travel advisor, my goal is to create seamless and enjoyable travel experiences, ensuring that every family member—from the youngest to the oldest—has an unforgettable time.</p>
<p>One of my most memorable projects was orchestrating a Caribbean cruise for a multi-generational family who was new to the concept of group travel with cruise lines. I simplified the complex details and ensured that every family member's needs were met, ultimately providing a relaxing and stress-free journey from start to finish.</p>
<p>At NexTrip Vacations, our close relationships with a variety of top-notch suppliers, from cruise lines to tour operators, allow us to enhance your travel experiences. These partnerships help ensure that my clients receive exclusive perks, added support during their travels, and a product that they can trust.</p>
<p>I pride myself on my personalized approach. By working closely with you, the group leader, I focus on understanding the vision and priorities of your trip. Whether exploring specific destinations, embarking on unique tours, or relaxing in luxury accommodations, I am here to translate your ideas into a splendid reality that fits your budget.</p>
<p>Our clients, like Stephanie, who enjoyed a meticulously planned cruise through Italy and Greece, attest to the benefits of entrusting their travel plans to NexTrip Vacations. Her experience, characterized by expert planning and an itinerary that perfectly balances adventure with tranquility, highlights the dedication and care I invest in each travel adventure.</p>

Kari was very attentive and made sure she understood what we were looking to do on our vacation. She was even able to get me extras & still keep me in my budget.
Angela - Hawaii ~ USA
Kari asked all of the questions I didn’t think of myself and even after our initial reservation was made she was very involved with further questions and potential add on’s we inquired about for our trip!
Brittany - Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
Kari Eskridge saved our trip! I was feeling so overwhelmed about planning this trip to LA and then I found Kari. She listened to what we were hoping to see and do, and took care of EVERYTHING. Every hotel she booked was beautiful and top notch. Every recommendation she provided was spot on to our interests. She took care of purchasing all the tickets so we just had to show up on time. She kept in constant communication with me to make sure we had everything we needed. Unfortunately, 1 person in our party ended up COVID positive the day before we were leaving and Kari spent hours on the phone cancelling what she could so we could get at least a partial refund. She thought of every detail. I honestly cannot truly express how grateful we are that Kari jumped in and made our trip perfect!
