Karen Burkholder

Vacation Specialist


“Through travel, we are reminded that kindness, curiosity, and laughter unite us all.”


Since joining the Travel Haus team in 2018, I’ve been grateful for the opportunity to blend two of my greatest passions—connecting with people and discovering new places. I’ve been fortunate to experience many unforgettable destinations firsthand, and each journey not only broadens my expertise but also inspires me to create meaningful, personalized travel experiences for my clients—whether it’s a relaxing Caribbean getaway, a scenic rail adventure, or a river cruise through the heart of Europe.


Elevated Travel, Tailored to You

 

Cruises & Resorts

I’ve taken Princess Cruises to Alaska, enjoying its breathtaking scenery and wildlife; had multiple stays at Sandals and Beaches Resorts across Caribbean islands such as Jamaica, St. Lucia, Curaçao, and Turks & Caicos; and experienced Viking and Tauck river cruises in Europe, both known for their immersive itineraries and exceptional onboard service—experiences that have deepened my passion for river cruising and exploring Europe by water.


Unique Adventures

From experiencing Rocky Mountaineer rail journeys through both the U.S. and Canada to exploring Ireland, Greece, and Switzerland—immersing myself in the local food, culture, and traditions—and even escorting a group through Italy, I love helping clients discover the extraordinary.


Specialist Programs & Certifications

I am proud to be a Sandals and Beaches Elite Advisor, a Viking Certified Expert, a Globus and Avalon Specialist, a Hyatt Inclusive Collection Specialist, a Rocky Mountaineer Specialist, and an ALG Pro Certified Specialist and Top Performer. These programs reflect my dedication to gaining in-depth knowledge and expertise to provide clients with exceptional, tailored travel experiences.

 

A Personal Touch with Every Trip


My goal is simple: to make every vacation as seamless and memorable as possible. By listening closely to your interests and travel style, I help you choose destinations, accommodations, and experiences that fit you perfectly. Whether you’re planning a bucket-list journey or a much-needed getaway, I’m here to make sure every detail comes together effortlessly.

 

When not helping clients plan their next adventure, I enjoy baking, getting coffee with friends, and spending time with my husband, Ken. We reside in Souderton and have two grown children, Alyssa and Justin. I’m also very involved with my local church and enjoy singing in the choir and with the worship team. I’m passionate about creating meaningful connections—both through travel and in everyday life.
