my mission is to turn your family's travel dreams into a reality that's unmistakably you

Meet karen


Hey there! I'm Karen Tatum, a family travel expert and the heart behind Tatum's Tailored Trips. As a mom to two amazing kids and an avid traveler since my early 20s, I've made it my mission to turn your family's travel dreams into a reality that's unmistakably you.

Why? Because I get it.

Your family isn't a carbon copy of someone else's, and your travel experiences shouldn't be either. Since 2016, I've been weaving the quirks, preferences, and dynamics of families like yours into personalized journeys. As a licensed and insured travel advisor, my commitment to your unique needs led me to join esteemed affiliations like Trevello Travel Group, IATA, and Virtuoso.

what’s important to me?

It's not just about the destinations; it's about you. From beach-loving tots to adrenaline-seeking teens, relaxation-craving parents to culture-hungry grandparents—I understand that everyone's got their thing. That's why, as a mom and an experienced traveler, I've dedicated almost two decades to mastering the art of luxury family travel.

My passion extends beyond crafting exceptional travel experiences; it's about making a positive impact. I'm not just a travel advisor; I'm your partner in creating memories while respecting the environment, supporting local communities, and fostering cultural understanding.

How do I do it?

By staying on the pulse of the travel industry, exploring destinations firsthand, and having affiliations that open doors to a vast network of international travel companies. It's about continual learning, deeper passion, and an ongoing commitment to understanding travelers dreams.

What does this mean for you? Your family's wishes are our guiding star. Whether it's uncovering a hidden gem along Mexico's coastline, sailing the high seas in luxury, exploring the most remote parts of Africa, or embarking on a Canadian adventure.
