Shari Latif

Hi, I’m Shari Latif, co-founder of K&S Escapes, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to a world of extraordinary escapes!

My dear friend and fellow travel enthusiast, Katie Horin, and I founded our boutique travel agency to turn your vacation dreams into luxurious, unforgettable journeys. With over 14 years of experience in the travel industry, I pour my heart into crafting bespoke itineraries that celebrate life and the joy of discovery. My goal is to ensure every trip feels personal, intentional, and truly special.

Who I Am

Based in Connecticut's serene Quiet Corner, I've dedicated years to crafting tailored travel experiences for clients across the globe. My extensive industry knowledge, combined with a deep passion for exploring beautiful destinations, allows me to design getaways that are both effortless and extraordinary.

Beyond my work, I'm an avid golfer. I've journeyed worldwide to discover top golf courses, and now you'll often find me spending countless hours on the greens at my home course here in New England.

Why I Love the Travel Industry

For me, travel is a profound gift, one that consistently creates lasting memories. I truly adore the travel industry because it empowers me to craft moments that deeply matter. Whether it's helping you explore a new country and culture, checking off a long-held bucket list item, or simply discovering the incredible world God created for us, each journey is a chance to connect.

The sound of shared laughter or sheer excitement, whether from a family or an individual, as they explore a new culture is truly heartwarming. Every itinerary I design is more than just a trip; it's an opportunity to spark connection, beauty, and stories you’ll cherish forever.

My Favorite Destinations

While I love every corner of the world, these destinations hold a special place for me:

Sedona, AZ: is a truly captivating place. The majestic red rock formations are absolutely breathtaking, especially when the light shifts and paints them in vibrant hues. It's an incredible experience to be surrounded by such natural beauty. Beyond the stunning scenery, Sedona offers so many ways to explore it, with countless options for hiking that let you immerse yourself in the landscape. I also really appreciate the unique cultural experience you find there, complemented by a vibrant art scene that adds so much character. And, of course, the charming downtown area is perfect for browsing and soaking in the local atmosphere. It's this blend of natural wonder, outdoor adventure, and artistic charm that makes me love Sedona so much.

Ireland: offers a unique blend of majestic natural beauty, profound history, and an incredibly warm, welcoming culture. It's a place where every visit feels like an adventure and a homecoming rolled into one. That's why it's, without a doubt, my favorite destination.
