ABOUT
BEYOND THE CROWDS
Hi there!
I'm Kathie Snyders and here is a bit about me!
As the oldest of 5, I have always had to break ground and figure out how to make my way in the world. I pushed my way through school and received a masters degree in Math which I used to start my career as a software developer. This is when learned to be good at looking for potential problems which is very useful as a travel agent.
And my claim to fame is as a rocket scientist working on projects such as the Flight Telerobotic Servicer (which helped build the Space Station) and Magellan (the Venus orbiter).
While still working full time as a programmer, I started working as a travel agent doing small trips for families. In 2013, my travel advisor work picked up and I started specializing in Ireland and Scotland (including Outlander tours to Scotland). Then in 2018, I was able to change careers and be a full time travel agent and travel agency owner.
​
I had a blog called Beyond the Crowds which I converted to this boutique travel agency specializing in personalized and unique travel experiences which take you beyond the typical tourist destinations and beyond the crowds.
Let me help you escape the ordinary. Incredible experiences await.
