Katie Kubitskey
Owner/Operator
I started this travel planning company in 2014 as a way to channel my enthusiasm for logistics and travel into something constructive. To me, travel = conflict resolution. The more people I can empower to travel the world, the better.
I am an IATA-certified travel planner, an avid traveler myself, and a lover of logistics. My career background is in hospitality and destination marketing. I will help take the cumbersome weight of researching and planning off of your shoulders so you can spend your energy on all of the important things (i.e. enjoying the endless wonders of new cultures, delicious food, and exciting experiences).
Louisville is my home base – with my husband Zach, our sweet daughter Cali, and our three cats – but I spent a handful of years traveling, exploring, and learning before landing back in Kentucky. I spent two years in Turkey, first studying Ottoman History and then teaching space sciences to kids from all over the world (strange, I know). After that, I moved to California for a couple of years to earn my Master’s Degree in Religion and Politics with a focus in Islamic Studies.
If I had to choose my favorite parts of travel planning, they would be: food & wine related adventures, the whole country of Turkey, and any opportunity to find a unique place to stay that just feels like total paradise.

Amy Nelson
Travel Consultant
I joined My World Travel in June of 2021 after being an elementary school teacher for many years. Katie and I have been traveling the world together since we were teens, and it has been rewarding to help others do the same.
I am a food-lover, and to me, eating is the best way to connect with a culture. If I’m not eating, cooking, or thinking about eating, I’m probably running, reading, or planning my next fly-fishing trip. My husband, Charlie, and I live in Nashville with our two boys, Charlie and Walter. We have the very best dog named Conroy.
I have two favorite parts of the job. First, I love relieving our clients from the stress of planning, allowing them to enjoy the process. Planning a honeymoon or an international family trip, for example, can be overwhelming to say the least. Pair that with how busy we all are, it makes it nearly impossible to have the time to plan your own trip. Many of our clients have said that without MWT’s planning support, they wouldn’t be traveling nearly as much, so I love helping people make it happen. My second favorite part of the job is our return clients that we get to plan for year after year. I love building a relationship with our clients, getting to know their preferences, style, and interests.

I joined My World Travel officially in 2024 after helping out with research off and on for a few years and running my own travel planning company for almost 5 years. I have always been interested in travel and learning about other cultures since I watched Anthony Bourdain episodes after school and started traveling right after high school.
I studied Anthropology and Archaeology in school including doing an archaeological dig in Rome. Then I moved to Denver, CO to get my Master’s Degree in Anthropology and focused on the impacts of volunteer tourism and tourism-based development in Guatemala where I did my research. This led to my love of planning sustainable and eco-friendly travel and finding ways to connect travelers with local cultures! I am still based in Denver, CO where I love exploring and hiking in the Rocky Mountains and trying out all the new bakeries around town with my husband, Austin.
It’s tough to choose, but my favorite parts of travel planning are finding beautiful little boutique hotels, hole-in-the-wall restaurants popular with locals, and eco-friendly options in any destination!
