Travel Advisor

Bonnie Pounds is a Mountain Brook, Alabama local, wife, and mother of three daughters with a lifelong passion for exploring the world. Her love for travel began at a young age, inspired by her grandparents and parents, who instilled in her a deep curiosity about culture, beauty, and discovery. That passion, paired with an eye for exceptional experiences, has evolved into a love for curating meaningful, luxury journeys that celebrate both comfort and connection.

Over the years, she has cherished exploring the world alongside her husband and daughters, sharing with them the wonder of discovery and the joy of connecting through travel. A breast cancer diagnosis later in life deepened her appreciation for truly living—not waiting for the “right” time, but creating moments that matter now. It reminded her that life is precious and unpredictable, and sometimes, you should simply “take the trip.”

From studying abroad in college to living overseas and immersing herself in new cultures, travel has shaped her perspective and continues to inspire her work. As a travel advisor with Kathryn Burns Travel, she is honored to design bespoke itineraries that allow clients to experience the world with the same openness, gratitude, and sense of celebration that have shaped her own journey.
