Favorite Travel Memory:
My favorite travel memory was taking my family to the Grand Canyon for the first time. I'd been as a child but my husband and children hadn't. Seeing the look on their faces and the way it took their breath away was awesome. Being able to make that happen and giving them all that same memory that I held is my favorite travel memory to date. My kids were 2.5 & 8.5 years old at the time.
We also took the Grand Canyon Railway into the park and that was a first time experience for all of us that made the trip extra special.
Disney Travel Advice:
Disney Family Advice: choose 2-3 Must-Do attractions for each day and treat everything else as a bonus. Utilize the app for Character Sightings and look for your favorite snacks near your attractions to make the most of your day!
My Favorite Travel Tip:
Family travel isn't about perfect itineraries or flawless days, it's about the moments you'll talk about for years to come.
Why should you book your vacation with me?
Family vacations are about so much more than booking flights and hotels, they're about creating memories your family will talk about for years to come.
As a Family Travel Specialist, I know that every family is unique. Whether you're planning your child's first trip to Disney, a relaxing beach getaway, an unforgettable cruise, or a multi-generational reunion, I take the time to understand what matters most to your family.
When you book with me, you're not just another reservation. You're working with someone who genuinely cares about making your vacation as stress-free, enjoyable, and memorable as possible. I handle the research, planning, and details so you can spend less time worrying and more time making memories.
I also understand that every family has different needs, including accessibility considerations & special accommodations. My goal is to create vacations where every family member feels included, comfortable, and excited for the adventure ahead.
From our first conversation until you return home, I'm here to answer questions, offer expert guidance, help you find the best value and be your advocate if unexpected issues arise.
Because to me, this isn't just travel planning, it's helping families reconnect, celebrate milestones, explore the world, and make memories that will last a lifetime!
