Travel professional helping clients create memories one magical vacation at a time. Especially while also juggling everyday life.

Personalized travel planning for families and couples who value expertise, thoughtful strategy, and trips that actually fit them. I have been a travel professional since 2017, but my love for planning vacations started long before that. I started my travel journey focusing on Disney Destinations, as I was previously a Cast Member at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. While I still love all things Disney, I have spent the last few years learning as much as I can about a variety of different destinations around the globe. I recognize that planning a vacation, no matter the destination, can be extremely overwhelming. Finding the right accommodations for your family, planning all of the details, and making sure you know what activities you need to book on what day can be a LOT to handle. My goal is to make sure that my clients are able to be as hands-off on their vacation as they'd like, so they can just show up and enjoy their trip. I'd love to help your family plan your next great adventure! Send me a message or fill out the trip request form on my website to get started!

Would you rather have the early morning flight and know your odds are higher to leave on time or the later flight that night be canceled or delayed?

Honestly? I wasn’t a fan. The price is reasonable, but the place just felt run down in a way that made me pretty uncomfortable as a solo female.

Have you stayed at the Four Points?

Is that just me??

Last week Samantha Kiefer and I had the opportunity to experience HHN at Universal Orlando, and it sure was a trip!

Sam had been before, but this was my first time! I actually enjoyed it way more than I had expected I would. Granted, I only did one house, but still!

The vibes were good, the food and drinks were delicious, and it is absolutely something I’d suggest doing at least once, even if you’re a scaredy cat like me!

My latest podcast episode is me diving in even more, if you want to get all the details!

So thankful that Samantha Kiefer is willing to deal with my shenanigans at Epcot. Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak is actually a lot harder than you might expect!

Thankfully there were other people doing it too and the cast members are happy to help!

Surprisingly we didn’t eat a single thing and instead focused our energy on finding these damn rats! 🤣

This is such a great way to make Food and W**e just a little more fun!

My series all about my trip to Europe is finally done on the podcast. If you've been looking to hear more about my trip, definitely check out Let's Just Go wherever you listen to your podcasts! I'm also on YouTube, if you want to watch me talk, too. 🤣

It really was so much fun to recap that trip, and I am looking forward to recapping my trip to Colombia next. Next week is going to be all about Oogie Boogie Bash though!

What would y'all rather hear about next? Colombia or D23 Expo??

I'm also going to have a Halloween Horror Nights episode coming out in October, after I take my own trip to experience it for the first time! I'm terrified, but I'm sure I'll have a good time.

My whirlwind August trip has finally come to an end. I started with an extremely delayed flight and lost luggage, and am ending extremely exhausted, but with my heart so full.

I realized last week that I’ve only been to two concerts this year (if you know me, you know that is a VERY small number), but I’ve also done a LOT of traveling.

This most recent trip is likely to be my last long trip of the year, but it was also very eventful.

I am very much looking forward to sitting at home and not leaving for a few days, because I hate to leave the house but love to board a plane!

If you’re wanting to plan a trip to Disneyland between now and the end of 2027, I have good news for you! Today Disney released packages for the Disneyland Resort through all of 2027!

Remember that a $200 deposit is all you need to get a package secured, with final payment due 30 days prior to check in.

Booking now means making sure your dates are locked in.

Know your spring break dates and want to do Disneyland over that week? This is the perfect time to book!

Reach out if you’d like to talk through options for your next trip.

Verona was a logistical stop — the closest train connection to Lake Garda. Two days later it was one of my favorite places of the entire trip. Here is the practical breakdown.

Getting there: Train from Venice, about two hours in premium class. Pack light — European train storage is limited and other people's oversized bags become your problem fast. We each had a carry-on roller and a backpack and were fine. We took a private water taxi from the JW Marriott to the Venice train station (110 euros, 30 minutes) and would do it again without hesitation.

Where we stayed: Moxy Verona, right outside the train station. Small rooms, minimal amenities, bar at the front desk, welcome drink on arrival. Great if you are there to explore. Not the right fit if you need a quiet space to decompress. Ten to fifteen minutes on foot to the center of the city.

What to do: Terrazza Bar al Ponte for a drink with a view of Castel San Pietro — house white and charcuterie for 35 euros total, get on the terrace list even if it is full. Then up the funicular to the castle at sunset for about a dollar. The Valpolicella w**e tour is a half-day well spent — two w**eries, Amarone, and a good group of strangers who all end up at a piazza together after.

Where to eat: Espresso at the counter at Caffè Borsari for three euros. Sandwiches from Focacceria La Figaccia. Dinner at Caffè Monte Baldo — Amarone risotto that I am still thinking about, bottle of w**e, dessert trio, espresso.

The thing I kept doing that worked: asking locals not just where to go but what they actually order when they get there. Every time I did this I discovered something I would not have found otherwise.

Verona is affordable, walkable, and easy to get to by train. Add it to your Italy itinerary.
