Karen Dawson, Managing Director, is a Top 1% Tauck Certified Advisor with more than 20 years of luxury travel experience. Jim Dawson serves as Marketing Director, bringing a background in strategic marketing and partnership development from leadership roles with Verizon and AT&T.

Since 2006, I’ve led Southlake Travel, a boutique luxury travel firm serving clients across Southlake, Westlake, Colleyville, Grapevine and the greater DFW area. In 2025, we were recognized as Best Travel Agency by 76092 Magazine and named a Top Travel Agency by Southlake Style.

I work closely with clients to design thoughtfully planned journeys—from luxury ocean and river cruises to private, custom itineraries throughout Europe and beyond. With longstanding relationships across the world’s most respected travel partners and our Virtuoso affiliation, clients enjoy preferred access, added amenities, and a high level of personal attention.

Every trip begins with a conversation—understanding what matters most and what you’re looking forward to next—so you can travel with confidence, ease, and something to truly anticipate.
