— About Us

We’re Kari & Dawn

Travel has always been part of who we are. Between us, we’ve explored 50+ countries and 45 states, yet our wanderlust only grows. We’ve hiked ancient trails, discovered hidden markets, and shared sunsets that changed us forever.
Somewhere along the way, we realized something beautiful: helping others fall in love with the world brings us just as much joy as our own adventures. That’s when we turned our passion into purpose, creating unforgettable journeys for every type of traveler.
And we mean every type. Great travel doesn’t require luxury budgets. Sometimes it’s about finding the perfect balance of comfort, adventure, and value. Whether you’re planning a budget getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime splurge, we craft experiences that feel right for you.
Travel is so much more than flights and hotels. It’s your child’s wonder at seeing the ocean for the first time. It’s quiet moments stolen with someone you love. It’s the thrill of standing somewhere you’ve dreamed about for years. We handle the planning so these moments unfold naturally.
Having traveled extensively ourselves, we bring genuine expertise to every journey we plan. We treat you like family, with honest advice and careful attention to every detail that makes your trip truly special.
Travel is about memories. Let us handle the planning so you can focus on creating the stories you’ll tell forever.

What Our Travelers Are Saying

  • My recent experiences working with Kari, who has been an absolute lifesaver in planning three amazing trips for me this year. Kari helped plan my daughter's college spring break in Cancun, arranged a memorable spring break for my son and moms in Punta Cana, and orchestrated a fantastic summer family trip to Costa Rica. I genuinely couldn't have managed all this without her expertise! She ensured everything went seamlessly and found reasonable and safe resorts for us to enjoy. It was truly a pleasure working with her. I highly recommend Kari's services to anyone in need of a dedicated and professional travel planner. Her assistance was a breath of fresh air!

  • Dawn made planning our Italy trip effortless, handling every detail from hotels to activities with care and expertise. Her insider advice gave us experiences and tours I never would have found on my own, making the trip truly unforgettable! I highly recommend her as your travel agent! We will be using her to book future trips.

  • We've used splendid getaways twice, working with both Dawn Shao and Kari Figueroa, and they were fantastic. For our London trip, Dawn created a perfect four-day itinerary packed with highlights like the London Eye, West End shows, Tower of London and more. Kari planned helped us helped us find the perfect lodging and intinerary for our group of eight. Her advice helped give us a true Hawaiian experience. I would not hesitate to use Splendid Getaways again!
