Meet Your Travel Advisor
Hi, I'm Kim Maurer. I am the founder of Mosaic Shores Travel Co. I strongly believe that vacations and time away with those that matter to you is one of the most important things in life. One that we all put on the back-burner far too often.
Everyone that knows me knows that I am a lover of all things oceans and islands. Which is probably not a surprise to you by now. I am also a chaser of their colorful and peaceful sunrises and sunsets. I was introduced to them when I was 18 and living near the North Shore on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. I would wake up early each morning to watch the stunning sun rise over the endless ocean. An image that is still so vividly with me today and is probably why I am drawn to witness as many sunrises and sunsets as I possibly can.
My love for travel began on those sandy shores of Hawaii. Traveling brings excitement to my life. It makes me happy … the discoveries, the dazzling shades of blue, the perfect starry skies, the local foods to devour, the breathtaking drives to the hidden beaches, the history and stories behind each place I visit, the new connections made along the way, and most importantly, the people with whom I travel with ~ there is absolutely nothing better!
It is my personal goal to help my clients experience all of these things – and MORE!
I would love the opportunity to help you discover your next sunrise or sunset.
