Learn how to make trip planning easy through practical travel tips, proven itineraries, and detailed destination guides. My family and I LOVE TO TRAVEL.

I’m Monika and I’m here to help you plan your next trip. We’ve always managed to work travel into our life – squeeze it in between home, full-time jobs, school and two dogs! A challenge I'm sure many of you can relate to :)

So I've made it my mission to make the most out of our precious vacation time. Over the years, I’ve become a chief trip planner and a checklist master of our family. But it wa

sn’t until our trip to Iceland that I decided to share our adventures and the magic of travel and making memories together. It was one of those awe-inspiring experiences that just stays with you. To the point of us starting to plan a return trip immediately after we got home! At the risk of sounding cliché, I’ll say it – it was life-changing! That’s what prompted me to finally go after my passion for writing and the realization that by sharing our experiences I can help others create their own unforgettable trips. That’s how Plan Pack Explore was born. I’ve focused primarily on making planning a trip easier for you. After hours and hours of research, trying to find resources and information to plan our voyages, my mission is to save you that trouble and take the hassle out of your travel planning by putting everything you need to know on one website. I hope that this site will become your “One Stop Travel Shop” and that through my articles and some (mostly funny!) personal stories I shared, I can inspire you to plan your next adventure. I’ll be here helping you every step of the way, sharing Real Life Travel Advice so that you can PLAN your trip, PACK your bags, and EXPLORE!
