My Travel Story

Hello, my name is Cathy Hawk and I love to travel.  I spent many hours when I was young at the airport either dropping my Dad off or picking him up but also we traveled to visit family all over the world. My Grandparents lived in Greece and Englan...

I love broadening clients views on how to travel.  There are so many options available nowadays that it can be overwhelming.  I have traveled on custom itineraries as well as on guided tours with companies and I have found great elements to both.  Clients often come to me wanting to just travel with their family or their spouse or a friend so I reach out to my suppliers who are well versed on custom itineraries and build a wonderful one of a kind trip for them.  I send it off and often hear that it is way over budget and we haven't even added tours and transfers.  I explain custom is often a much more expensive way to travel with variables we can not control and it takes a lot of work to put it together.  So I then try and introduce them to guided tours and what they have to offer.  Guided tours and tour companies have changed a lot over the years, they are now offering choices on tour and experiences which are really one of a kind.  They handle all transportation and accommodations and any issues along the way.


I like to offer my clients the best of both worlds.  I help find a tour company that fits the level of travel they enjoy and has a tour with all the sights and experiences they want. Then I book a few days before and a few days after the tour which we customize just for them.  it is my way of giving people the one of a kind vacation with a budget in mind and all the stress of things going wrong taken out of it.


I offer this as well to my cruise clients so they can have a bit more time in a location before or after a cruise.

BEST Customer Service
Cathy was a dream to work with. From the very beginning she understood our expectations and she exceeded each and every one. Her knowledge was spot on and she went above and beyond! The day of our sailing we noticed that my daughter's birthdate was wrong on the paperwork. So on the way to the port, she called the cruise line and took care of it, so that there was no confusion once we checked in. She took the stress away from what could of been added while checking-in. Thank you Cathy!!!

Trip of a lifetime
Cathy was awesome to work with! Our last minute family vacation to Italy needed a quick turnaround. She really took the time to understand what we wanted from our trip and made our dreams a reality. She was able to book us rooms as a family (with a hot breakfast included!), handle transfers and train rides between cities, and suggested destinations we would have never thought of on our own. Cathy went above and beyond in ensuring we had a memorable experience! I valued her attention to details and her ability to thoroughly answer all our questions. I will definitely be asking Cathy to plan future vacations!

Our amazing dream trip to Italy!
From the first moment I talked with Cathy Hawk about our dream trip to Italy, she had so many suggestions for wonderful experiences. She quickly put together a packet of information that clearly laid out all the possibilities. Once we decided on our destinations, she had loads of suggestions for traveling that proved to be very helpful during our 2 weeks in Rome, Tuscany, and Bologna. She shared many tips on packing, flying internationally, and the culture of the regions we were visiting. She followed up with us once we returned to talk about our experiences. Cathy was as excited as we were for our trip. I highly recommend her!

It was my pleasure. I can not express how fun it was to hear about your experience on The Collette Spotlight on Tuscany Tour. I felt like I was reliving one of my favorite tours right along with you.
