About Me

Infinity Pool @ Aulani - A Disney Resort in Hawaii
Infinity Pool @ Aulani - A Disney Resort in Hawaii

My default brain is travel mode. When I’m home, I spend hours researching flights, hotels, activities and logistics of both real and dream trips. When traveling, I gain such joy at witnessing my plans become reality and having others enjoy their travel experiences.

I’ve been going to Walt Disney World since I was a baby so I have too many Disney tips and Magical Moments to count, but a favorite recent memory was celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary with my whole family at WDW together (my parents honeymooned to the Polynesian back in 1975!) and witnessing my Dad take my daughters on Dumbo for the first time. Alternatively, the “happy place” I escape to in my mind is the infinity hot tub overlooking the ocean at Aulani - A Disney Resort in Hawaii. No matter your Disney Destination, let’s make it happen!

Regarding international travel, I spent a semester abroad living in Perugia, Italy and was fortunate to explore England, France, Holland, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, and several regions throughout Italy in that time so have spent time navigating airports, maps and menus in new languages, experiencing learning curves of European train systems, and witnessing iconic sites that most only dream of. Plus I’ve been on a few different Viking River Cruises in Europe and fell in love with the ability to explore the small cities along the rivers, while enjoying the luxury of the onboard experience along the way.

Ultimately, I am a mom who is passionate about traveling and has learned a lot of tips and tricks about traveling with littles, as well as my history of traveling solo and with various family members and friends - so I’d love to make planning your next adventure as magically stress-free and fun as possible, no matter your destination.
