About Us
MONARCH TRAVEL PARTNERS FOUNDER
As the founder of Monarch Travel Partners, Kathi Herman brings decades of global travel experience, industry knowledge, and a genuine passion for discovery to every journey she designs. Certified as a Central Europe Travel Specialist, a Viking Travel Specialist, and a Hyatt Inclusive Specialist, she crafts itineraries with insight earned from real adventures — not from brochures.
The Monarch name reflects Kathi’s philosophy of travel: like the Monarch butterfly, whose instinct carries it thousands of miles across continents, she believes every journey has the power to transform. Whether it’s nature or wanderlust that inspires their incredible migration, the Monarch symbolizes purposeful exploration — a spirit she brings to each client’s trip.
The photography throughout the Monarch website offers a glimpse into her travels across Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and beyond. Each image reflects the curiosity, care, and authenticity that define her approach, turning every itinerary into a seamless, meaningful experience.
When you travel with Monarch, you're not just booking a vacation — you’re partnering with someone who’s lived the journey, honors the art of exploration, and knows how to make every moment unforgettable.
