Because the most beautiful journeys aren’t just about where you go.
They are about how they make you feel.
Your next unforgettable escape is waiting.
Beyond the Trip: About Me
Cathy Skipper | Luxury Travel Designer and Curator
Travel, for me, has never just been about going somewhere. It’s about how you experience the world.
After 25 years as a military wife, I had the rare privilege of living across the globe and immersing myself in cultures many people only dream about. My passport tells stories of wandering through European markets, sipping wine along quiet cobblestone streets, discovering hidden corners of historic cities, and finding peaceful beaches where the only schedule is the rhythm of the tide.
Those experiences shaped not only my love of travel, but also my passion for helping others experience the world in a deeper, more meaningful way.
I’m also a proud mom of two amazing grown children and a devoted dog mom to my fur babies, Roxie and Manu. Life has taught me that time with the people we love is truly our greatest luxury which is exactly why I believe travel should feel effortless, indulgent, and unforgettable.
At Skipper’s Elite Escapes, I design journeys that go far beyond booking a trip. I curate experiences. Whether it’s a sophisticated European getaway, a scenic river cruise through storybook towns, an adventurous expedition, or one of my signature adults-only Cruise Camps (because grown-ups deserve fun too), every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted around you.
My clients aren’t transactions, they’re relationships. I take the time to understand your travel style, your dreams, and the moments you want to create. With trusted global partners, insider access, and meticulous attention to detail, I handle everything from first class flights to unforgettable private experiences so you can simply relax and savor every moment.
No cookie cutter vacations.
No travel stress.
Just beautifully designed journeys and memories that stay with you long after you return home.
