Over a decade ago, I embarked on my very first major international vacation, and I was hooked! Sure, I'd dipped my toes in the warm waters of Mexican beaches and sailed through the British Virgin Islands on a private yacht, but this adventure was a game-changer. I became the ultimate trip-planning ninja, reading more reviews than I can count to uncover the absolute best restaurants, hotels, and adventures at every stop on my journey.
You know what I discovered? There's nothing quite as thrilling as planning a spectacular adventure to a brand-new destination. Fast forward to today, and I've hopped on elephants in Bangkok, soared high in the South Korean skies while parasailing, hung out in the air above Rio de Janeiro with a hang-glider, and plunged into the depths of the Great Barrier Reef for some epik SCUBA action. Oh, and I've seen one of the Seven Wonders of the World in Argentina and even dined in a tree in São Paulo. Yep, you heard that right!
Here's the deal: I absolutely LOVE exploring new corners of the world, and I want to share that passion with you. That's why I decided to kickstart Epik Destinations! Our mission? To help YOU experience the world, without any of the stress. So, what do you say? Let's make your dream vacation a reality. Reach out to us and let's start planning your next epik adventure – because the world is waiting for you! 🌍✈️😎

Ralston, NE
My love for travel began as a little girl exploring many places with my family. Growing up and realizing how much these memories meant to me, I knew I needed to continue this with my own children. It has been a lifelong journey of travel. One of my passions is just talking about travel and making it happen.
I would love to help you plan your next travel. Let’s make that dream cruise or vacation a forever memory.

Sgt. Bluff, IA
I was born and raised in Siouxland – grew up in Pierson, Iowa. I work full-time for the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce and spend my free time riding my Harley-Davidson motorcycle and traveling with my husband, Ryan, an 8th grade Science teacher in Sioux City. Together we've ridden our motorcycles to (no trailers!) all the lower 48 states. We also enjoy visiting tropical destinations and checking out Sandals resorts. My travel focus will be on motorcycle trips, traveling the U.S., and all things Sandals!
Sauk Centre, MN
Hi, I'm Kate Wilber, a central MN native, happily married for 12 years with two kids and a household full of pets. I'm an RN, passionate about patient education on OB care, Hypertension, and Diabetes. Outside work, my family enjoys camping, board games, movies, and community theater.
Since I fell in love with Disney Cruises, we decided to try a couple of different cruise lines. Cruising gives us the unique experience of feeling of an all-inclusive resort, but with the ability to travel and visit so many different destinations.
Travel is so important to me, because I live by the motto: I don’t live to work, but I do work to live. Our love for travel includes road trips and flights, exploring the Oregon coast recently. Disney has held a special place in my heart since childhood, and I've cherished family visits to Walt Disney World and Disney Cruises. I'm enthusiastic about planning magical vacations and ensuring families have the best experiences.

Hi, I’m Daylan
Growing up I spent a lot of my time traveling all over the country with my grandparents in their motorhome…and from there began my love of travel. As an adult that love has only blossomed. Planning vacations is a true passion of mine! Now as a mom of two littles, I wanted them to have the same memories and experiences. Traveling with littles can be a challenge but also the most amazing, rewarding experience! I specialize in family travel to help other families give their children those memories. From cruises to all-inclusive resorts, there are no limits for family travel. Let’s start planning your next adventure today!

Onawa, IA
Hi! I’m LaRae McKinven and my husband and I live in Onawa, Iowa. Monty is a CRNA at our local hospital. We were both born and raised in the Fessenden, North Dakota area.
Our love for travel came from our curiosity of what the rest of the world looks like and finding warm weather getaways. In the winter months we love to cruise and truly like the Caribbean the best. There is just something magical about sand between your toes, palm trees, warmth and beautiful water. We also enjoy all-inclusive resorts and find Sandals to be our favorite
In the spring, summer and fall you will find us driving all the scenic roads in the US in our corvette. We have driven coast to coast and only have 2 of the 48 contiguous states to visit yet. We also enjoy visiting our National Parks and have been to most of them.
I plan to specialize in cruises, Sandals and US driving adventures.

Cuyahoga Falls, OH
In 2017, I booked my first ever cruise. Since then, I have been hooked on the cruise life. Nothing is better than visiting multiple islands in a week-long period and getting to experience so many different cultures both on and off the ship. I have traveled to Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and Dominican Republic.
I have met so many amazing people through cruising from all over the world and have even made travel to their home states. Since then, I have been helping friends book cruises and would love to help you book your next adventure, stress-free.
