Off the travel topic a bit.....

Fellow soccer moms, I need answers.
What are we putting in our kids’ cleats to deter the smell of whatever appears to have died and taken up permanent residence in there?!
Sprays? Balls? Charcoal? Witchcraft?
I’m open to anything at this point. Drop your tried-and-true solutions below!

Travel is one of the best ways to experience culture and really learn about people.

From the music and food of San Juan to the vibrant neighborhoods of Miami, the markets of Mexico City, and the flavors of San Antonio, Hispanic culture is rich, diverse, and woven into so many of the places we love to visit.

I love that travel gives us the opportunity to go beyond seeing a destination. We can taste it, hear it, learn its stories, and connect with the people who make it special.

Whether you’re exploring Hispanic heritage closer to home or dreaming of an adventure abroad, there’s so much to discover.

Where would you love to explore next? I’d love to help you plan a trip that gives you more than beautiful pictures... it gives you memories and experiences you’ll carry home. 💛

5 vacation tips for families traveling with teens

1. Let them have a say.
Give them a few choices and let them help shape the trip. They’ll be more invested when they feel like they had a voice.

2. Don’t overschedule.
Teens need downtime too. Build in time to sleep, swim, explore, or just do nothing.

3. Plan something THEY will love.
A waterpark, adventure hike, great pool, snorkeling, shopping, or a late-night activity can make all the difference.

4. Don’t expect everyone to do everything.
It’s okay if one person skips the excursion or someone wants to sleep in. Vacation doesn’t have to mean 24/7 family togetherness.

5. Leave room for spontaneity.
Some of the best vacation memories happen when you aren’t rushing to the next scheduled activity.

The goal isn’t to create the most packed itinerary.

It’s to create a vacation your whole family actually enjoys.

And yes, that includes the teenager.

Not everyone wants to see a new port every single day.

I’m currently planning another Viking North Pacific Passage cruise for a couple who had already experienced Alaska and wanted something a little different.

They wanted to:
• See places they hadn’t experienced before
• Slow down and truly enjoy the journey
• Have time to rejuvenate, not rush from port to port
• Enjoy some spa time and yoga
• Come home feeling rested, not exhausted

So I suggested a Viking Ocean itinerary that checked those boxes.

This is one of my favorite parts of planning travel: listening to what a client actually wants from their vacation, then finding the vacation that fits their needs

Not every trip needs to be packed full. Sometimes the best itinerary is the one that gives you room to breathe.

Thinking about a cruise that feels a little more you? Send me a message. I’d love to help you find it.

Some of my favorite travel memories aren’t even my own. ❤️

I’ve been lucky enough to watch my kids experience travel with their grandparents...and see the little moments and the big ones become memories they’ll carry with them.

Fishing off the dock
Eating ice cream together
Their first trip to Disney World
Their first trip to Europe
Singing WAY too loudly together at a hibachi dinner
bike rides at sunset

Those are the moments I think about when I plan travel for families.

Because travel isn’t just about the destination. It’s about the stories you’ll tell for years afterward. The inside jokes. The traditions. The firsts. The moments that somehow become family favorites.

And that’s why I love what I do.

I get to help families create those moments...with the planning, details, accessibility needs, and logistics taken care of so they can focus on being together.

Because someday, you won’t remember every detail of the trip.

But you’ll remember who was there. ❤️

What’s a travel memory with your family that still makes you smile? I’d love to hear it! And if you’re ready to start creating a few new ones, send me a message. I’d love to help you plan them.
