- Welcome to Karen Piper Travel
My passion for travel was sparked in childhood, lost in the pages of books dreaming of far-off lands. That dream came alive when I attended The American School in Switzerland, wandering the enchanting streets of Rome, Florence, Venice, Paris, and even the wilds of Africa—places that once lived only in my imagination.Life’s demands—college, raising kids, running a business—put my adventures on pause, but now, as an empty nester, I’m reigniting that spark and inviting you to join me.
My mission is to create group travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary, immersing you in vibrant cultures, exquisite cuisines, and hidden gems that awaken your senses. From the cobblestone charm of European villages to the serene beauty of distant shores, every journey is designed to connect, inspire, and transform.Whether you’re craving a culinary escape with cooking classes in Italy, a wine-tasting adventure in Tuscany, a hike, bike, a paddle on the water, or a vibrant festival in a far-flung destination, I curate active group trips tailored to “our vintage” and active lifestyle! Let’s share the joy of discovery, create lasting memories, and explore the world’s wonders together.
