What began as a shared office in the world of advancement has turned into a bold new chapter rooted in passion, luxury, and unforgettable experiences. We’re Katie Horin and Shari Latif—travel designers, founders, and longtime friends behind K&S Escapes. We created this agency not only out of a love for travel, but from a deep desire to help others experience the world with elegance, ease, and unforgettable joy.
We’ve spent years exploring both the U.S. and the globe—from the vineyards of France to the golf courses of Scotland, the rolling hills of Napa to the serene New England coast. Along the way, we’ve discovered that luxury extends beyond lavish hotels (though we love those too); it’s about intentionality, beauty, and indulgent experiences that allow you to truly savor a place.
Together, we founded K&S Escapes to elevate how you travel—not just where you go. We specialize in luxury escapes designed for curious, cultured travelers who appreciate both refined simplicity and a touch of opulence. Whether it’s a sun-drenched group golf trip to Hilton Head, a romantic getaway to Corfu, or an immersive wine experience in Bordeaux, our itineraries are as personal as they are polished.
We believe travel should never feel rushed, crowded, or cookie-cutter. With K&S Escapes, it’s about journeys that unfold with intention, beauty, and ease.
We're so excited to begin this new adventure with you. Whether you're dreaming of your next escape or looking to join one of our curated group trips, we can’t wait to help you discover the world in style.
Welcome to the journey and let K&S Escapes craft your next unforgettable experience.
With love,
Katie & Shari
