Our Approach

At Katie Bean Travels, we believe luxury is personal. Every journey we plan is rooted in connection: to the people you love, the places you explore, and most importantly, to yourself. With deep industry knowledge and a global network of trusted partners, we work hard to create the highest level of experiences that feel effortless and entirely your own.

From a fully staffed villa in St. Barths to a historic castle in Scotland or a private cooking class in Piedmont, we design each trip with care, creativity, and unparalleled access. Our team travels year-round to stay personally connected to the destinations we recommend, so that when you arrive, everything just feels right.

This is travel without the guesswork. Just meaningful moments, beautifully planned.

Available exclusively through our Virtuoso Luxury Travel Agency Network.

Meet Our Executive Team

I care deeply, about our clients, our team, and the work we do every single day.

At Katie Bean Travels, we don’t just plan trips. We help create the kind of memories that stay with you forever, and I will never take that privilege lightly. It is truly an honor to play even a small role in someone’s most cherished moments, and I carry that responsibility with immense gratitude.

My hope is that KBT continues to be a place where people grow, not just professionally, but personally. A place where excellence, creativity, and heart are woven into everything we do.

Our clients deserve the very best, and we’ll never stop striving to deliver exactly that.

Behind every exceptional journey is a team that's passionate about getting every detail right, and I'm proud to be part of that process.

As Vice President of Katie Bean Travels, I focus on supporting our advisors, strengthening our team, and ensuring every client receives the exceptional service we're known for. When our team feels supported, our clients experience the difference.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is watching our advisors grow while fostering a culture built on collaboration, integrity, and genuine care. To me, luxury travel is about creating seamless, personalized experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Iceland! Argentina! Japan! Singapore! Dubai! Plus numerous destinations across the US! Lauren & the entire Katie Bean Travels team have planned many unforgettable vacations for my family. Whether it’s just my husband and I traveling or our entire family of six, Lauren goes above and beyond to make sure every moment of the trip is perfect. World class hotels, guides that make you feel like a local, dining reservations I would have never snagged on my own, these are just a few of the things that make their itineraries so special.

Laura was incredible! She curated an impeccably planned trip to Spain and Portugal. Every detail was taken care of for me . She included delightful cultural experiences that included visiting vineyards , specialty markets and a cooking class. She also arranged guided tours that covered the beautiful sights , history and architectural features of the countries . I’m so happy to have worked with her ( again ) and look forward to planning more trips with her and Katie Bean travel in the future.

- Kellie Rogers

Katie and her team were amazing! They helped us figure out where we wanted to go on our European adventure and then planned every piece of it from transportation and accommodations to restaurants and tour guides. We didn’t have to do a thing except tell them what we like to do and how we like to do it. The result was an amazing, stress free, luxury vacation that included lots of surprises and upgrades along the way. Katie Bean has planned several trips for us and this one won’t be the last!
