Hi I'm Angela! I’m the owner and lead travel advisor behind Simply Travel Co., where my passion is helping families, couples, and busy travelers plan stress-free, meaningful trips that create lifelong memories. My motto says it best: We plan, you simply travel.

Travel has been part of my life for over 20 years — long before I ever imagined turning it into a business. My first truly transformative experience was a missions trip to the Philippines in 2004. Standing above the Banaue Rice Terraces, navigating bustling markets, and connecting with local families opened my eyes to how powerful travel can be. That trip taught me that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about perspective, connection, and shared experiences that stay with you long after you return home.

As my life evolved, so did the way I traveled. After getting married and having children, I discovered how travel can strengthen family bonds and create memories that shape who we are. One of our most meaningful trips was a Disney Cruise to Alaska, paired with a road trip through breathtaking landscapes and waterfalls through some of the most beautiful scenery in Canada. Since then, we’ve explored the Caribbean, theme parks, and taken cross-country adventures — all while learning what truly makes a trip smooth, memorable, and worth every moment.

Along the way, I also experienced the overwhelm that many travelers face — sorting through endless options, worrying about safety, budgeting wisely, and trying to avoid costly mistakes. A trip to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria reinforced just how important trusted guidance and vetted accommodations can be. That experience became a turning point for me.

I created Simply Travel Co. to take that stress off your plate. When you work with me, you get personalized planning backed by real-world experience, trusted supplier relationships, and thoughtful attention to detail. From destination recommendations and itinerary planning to safety considerations, budgeting, and support before, during, and after your trip — I handle the details so you don’t have to.

I also understand the importance of planning for dietary needs and special considerations, including my own experience navigating travel with a gluten allergy. That firsthand knowledge allows me to help clients feel confident, prepared, and truly cared for.

Beyond trip planning, I love sharing practical travel insights through The Simply Travel Journal found on my website — offering tips, planning advice, and honest recommendations based on what I’ve personally experienced and trust.

At the heart of everything I do is one simple goal: to make travel easy, enjoyable, and meaningful. I plan the details — you simply travel.
