About
Karen Coleman
Founder of Coleman’s Custom Escapes
Investing in memories - one unforgettable journey at a time.
After decades as an Executive in local government accounting and finance - including serving as an elected Treasurer-Tax Collector - I made the decision to trade balance sheets for boarding passes. What hasn't changed is my passion for service. Today, I help travelers invest in something far more valuable than things: experiences that last a lifetime.
With a deep love for exploration and a commitment to intentional, personalized travel, I launched Coleman’s Custom Escapes to help others discover the same joy that travel has brought to my own life. From cultural cruises to road trip adventures, I design itineraries that feel personal, immersive, and unforgettable.
Because truthfully? Nothing you invest in makes you richer than travel.
