ABOUT
I’m Kacey Rose—the writer behind Flying With the Skylark and the travel advisor behind Skylark Journeys.
My work starts with understanding people. I listen closely to what my clients want—and just as importantly, what they need—and design travel around their interests, tastes, pace, and priorities.
My path to travel advising was anything but conventional. Before Skylark Journeys, I was a concert pianist and scholar, and years of traveling for concerts and research shaped the way I experience the world: through its history, architecture, art, food, music, and culture. My husband, Jake, spent decades traveling internationally as a Hollywood producer. Between us, we’ve worked and traveled through more than 50 countries, often experiencing the world from some pretty unusual angles.
That experience taught us something important: a great trip isn’t about checking the most places off a list or simply choosing the most expensive hotel. It’s about understanding what will make a particular journey memorable for the people taking it.
That’s the philosophy behind Skylark Journeys.
Sometimes my role is simple: finding and booking the right hotel, cruise, guide, or experience. Through my travel partnerships, I can often add benefits such as breakfast, hotel credits, upgrades when available, and other VIP amenities.
Other times, I take the entire trip off your plate—researching hotels, designing the itinerary, finding experiences and restaurants, working through transportation, and coordinating the details so that everything fits together. I also design complex group travel, including nonprofit, corporate, educational, and specialized programs.
Whatever the trip, my goal is the same: thoughtful travel, designed around you.
If you’d like help with your next journey, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.
