Client Reviews:

"I had the pleasure of having Kathie Samulak plan a trip to the Smokey Mountains for me. Four days of backpacking, in which she handled all of the day-by-day hiking plans, went off without a hitch. It was my first time undertaking such an endeavor, and with Kathie planning it all out, I felt incredibly comfortable and relaxed with stepping outside of my usual box. She also booked us a beautiful, 3-story cabin, overlooking the Smokies for our last few days after backpacking. This cabin was not some run down, rustic vacation home--but rather, a deluxe complex with every amenity you could think of--at a very affordable price. My trip to the Smokey Mountains was easily one of the best trips I've ever taken, and one of my least stressful because of Kathie's diligent work. I would gladly recommend her for any vacation planning because she listens to your needs and plans things out meticulously based on your desires."

"Ms. Samulak is an excellent trip-planning specialist. She planned first-class train trips for my wife and me aboard Amtrak's California Zephyr and Coastal Starlight in 2007, and aboard the Empire Builder in 2008. Everything went smoothly. Saved me the time and hassle of doing the planning myself. Would enlist her services again."

"Kathie Samulak is an expert at travel planning. She has planned several trips for me thus far that usually combine time in the Backcountry with a stay in a nice cabin or cottage. I have been amazed at how little preparation I had to do for the trip. Kathie takes the headache and stress out of planning an adventure. She meticulously chooses accommodations and activities that suit your unique personality and desires. She really is a travel consultant. She also brings rich experience and expertise to her planning. Being a seasoned backpacker, she knows how to make sure your outdoor experience is memorable, comfortable and scenic. Whether it's your first time out or your fifteenth time, Kathie takes the worry out of planning your Backcountry experience and assures an adventure you'll always remember. I am currently contemplating a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2011. I guarantee I will be employing Kathie's services and entrusting this 6-month large-scale adventure to her expert planning."
