About Me

Family All Inclusive-Moms Need Vacation, Too!

Rovinj, Croatia
Rovinj, Croatia

I'm an Army Veteran and a mom of four kids.  All inclusive trips and programs have been true a life saver for our family.  I realized the value of all-inclusive when we lived overseas--my kids learned to ski in the Alps at an all inclusive European resort and I learned to rest while they skied!  

When I left for college, California was my world. My first adventure was a cross-country flight to attend college in Boston. It was a red-eye and I had about 5 bags (those were the days--no extra fees for baggage!). During college I took my first international trip and went to England for spring break. College took me to the Army which took me all over the world. While serving in the Army I lived in Germany for five years as well as almost six years in South Korea. Don’t forget the glorious deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.  We now call Northern Virginia home. I've traveled throughout Asia including Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Korea.  My travels also took me to the southern hemisphere for 10 days in Sydney, Australia.  And in Europe, I've traveled through Germany, Austria (my all-time favorite city is Salzburg), Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Denmark, and England. 

I'd love to help you plan your next REAL travel experience which is about Resting, Exploring, And Learning.
