About me
Travel has always been part of my DNA; I have lived in 6 different countries and traveled to over 50. Travel has become part of who I am - from a personal passion to my career.
I always planned and booked my own travel, with friends, family or solo, learning quickly that taking the time before leaving to create an itinerary paid dividends on the road. I started planning bigger trips my family and friends, and then friends of friends - Alaskan cruises, rainforest adventures in Costa Rica, Berlin city breaks and more so I started Mason Mint Travel.

favs
Hotel: By far my favorite hotel is the Hotel Cipriani by Belmond in Venice. I stayed here with my family for an Anniversary trip that was unforgettable. We were a group with ages ranging from 6 - 75 years old and the hotel catered beautifully for us all.
Restaurant: If you ever get the chance to visit the Point A Restaurant at the Herodion Hotel in Athens, Greece, you simply must! The superb dessert is second only to the iconic view of the Acropolis.
Tourist Attraction: Windsor Castle is a short 30 mins from central London and well worth the trip. The history and pageantry entertain and educate visitors of all ages. Before heading back into the city, walk through Windsor Great Park and possibly spot a Royal!

What People Are Saying
“We wanted to take each of our grandchildren on a ‘Teenage Trip’. They got to help choose the destination and activities working with Catherine which made planning a fun part of the whole experience. She worked with us to make sure our needs (safety and comfort!) were included as well as making sure our grandkids’ wishes came true. The memories from these trips will last forever in our family. ”
— Bob & Liz, Florida
“I was looking for an amazing ‘Girl’s Weekend Away’ for my friend’s 50th and Catherine made it magical. From the initial call to delivering the final itinerary and checking in with us on our weekend in Athens, I was so grateful to be able to relax and enjoy knowing everything was taken care of. She also helped us with choosing the best time of day to visit the Acropolis to avoid the crowds. Invaluable!
— Victoria, London
“I only needed a city hotel while visiting friends in Berlin as an add on to a work trip. Catherine offered 3 great options with explanations of why each one was worth considering. I got all the perks because I booked through her which were great. I don’t know why I was doing all the legwork previously. I will use Catherine for every trip from now on! ”
