About Katrina Richardson, TMP

Traveling has always been an essential part of who I am. When I graduated from high school, my dream was to be a flight attendant. I was thrilled to be accepted by PAN AM airlines and was set to embark on flight school. But as life often has a way of surprising us, I met my future husband that same summer. He was a career Navy man, and I found myself falling in love. I decided to stay and build a life with him, which meant postponing my flight attendant dreams.

​

Though my mom lost the money she had put down for my flight school, she supported my decision to attend college and later marry. Little did I know, life would lead me to many more travels with my husband, exploring the world during his military assignments. Those early years of travel ignited a passion within me that only grew stronger over time.

​

Fast forward to today, and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to numerous countries. The more I travel, the more I yearn to see and experience. Now, in my retirement year (2023), I’ve found a new chapter. I’ve partnered with one of the top travel companies and have taken on the role of Group Leader, which allows me to continue my passion for exploring new cultures. I’m excited to guide others on their travel journeys, sharing the joy and growth that travel offers.

​

Travel is more than just a hobby or a career for me—it’s a gateway to understanding humanity on a deeper level. It gives me the opportunity to learn, appreciate, and respect different cultures, viewpoints, and ways of life.

​

The benefits of travel are undeniable. It broadens the mind, enhances empathy, and promotes well-being. It has proven to reduce stress, increase creativity, and even improve mental health. For me, it’s also a source of pure joy. There’s a unique happiness that comes with stepping out of your comfort zone, immersing yourself in new environments, and connecting with people from all walks of life.

​

So, when I say travel is good for your health, I truly mean it. It nourishes the soul, boosts positivity, and creates memories that last a lifetime. And it’s this passion that drives me to help others experience the world, just as I have.
