Background

My story

I’m Kevin Kimpel — owner/operator of Kevin’s Travel in Norfolk, Nebraska, and I help travelers turn “we want to go somewhere” into a trip that actually fits you. What I do (and why it’s different) Personalized trip planning — I don’t do cookie-cutter packages. I match the destination, resort/ship, and itinerary to your travel style, budget, and priorities. Real support before, during, and after travel — you’re not stuck on hold with a call center when something changes. Access to strong travel partners — cruises, resorts, hotels, tours, and travel protection options, so you’ve got solid choices (and often better value than trying to piece it together alone). What I specialize in Cruises (first-timers through seasoned cruisers) Disney vacations (parks + Disney Cruise Line) Alaska travel All-inclusives & resorts Corporate/group travel (retreats, group trips, and planning support) Travel insurance guidance (so you know what you’re buying and why) How working with me feels Straightforward, organized, and honest. I’ll explain your options clearly, help you avoid common mistakes, and make sure you know what’s included (and what isn’t) so there are no surprises.

Philosophy

My approach

My approach to planning trips (Kevin’s Travel style) 1) Start with your “why” + vibe What’s the purpose: relax, celebrate, reconnect, adventure, bucket-list, business? Your pace: chill / balanced / go-go-go Your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves 2) Build the trip around real-life constraints Dates + flexibility (hard dates vs. “sometime in June”) Budget comfort zone (and what you want that budget to feel like) Who’s traveling + room needs (kids, couples, friends, accessibility, mobility) Passport/ID timing, school/work schedules, special events 3) Match you to the right “trip type” Cruise vs. all-inclusive vs. land tour vs. DIY with curated pieces Adults-only vs. family-focused One home base vs. multi-stop Guided vs. independent 4) Pick the best destination for your dates I don’t just pick “popular”—I match weather, crowds, seasonality, and value to your window so you don’t get stuck with: hurricane season surprises shoulder-season closures peak pricing with low availability 5) Design the itinerary like a pro (but keep it simple for you) Smart flight times (avoid brutal connections when possible) Hotel/resort location that reduces daily friction Built-in buffer time (so the trip feels easy, not stressful) A few “anchor” experiences + optional add-ons (not over-scheduled) 6) Protect the trip Travel insurance recommendation every time (and explain it in plain English) Backup options for flights/hotels/transfers when it matters Clear documentation + checklists (90/60/30-day style reminders) 7) Be your support before, during, and after Confirmation details organized and easy to follow If something goes sideways during travel, you know exactly how to reach me (and what counts as an emergency)
