About Me

I strongly believe that ALL families deserve to see the world and that travel is the best education. My goal is to help busy families visit their dream destinations by designing personalized itineraries, providing first-hand experience, and managing all the details so they can travel stress-free.

I’m especially passionate about helping families travel smarter through insider tips, strategic planning, and honest advice you won’t find in a generic guidebook. From navigating rope drop at Walt Disney World to multi-generational Europe trips and kid-friendly cultural experiences in Japan (hint: I’ve done all of these myself), I focus on making complex trips feel simple and approachable.

 

Destinations I Specialize In:

  • Europe
  • England (My family has visited 10+ times!)
  • Japan
  • Hawaii
  • Disney World (I’m a rope drop expert and Lightning Lane guru!)

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the best country in Europe to visit with kids?
A: England, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland top my list for European family vacations because of their easy transportation, family-friendly culture and plenty of activities for all ages.

Q: Is it worth taking kids to Japan?
A: Absolutely! Yes, the flight is LONG, but once you’re there, Japan is bright and colorful, fun and lively, extremely safe, easy to get around and full of fun characters like Pokemon, Mario and even Tokyo Disney. I do think 5 or 6 years old and up is the sweet spot, though.

Q: What is the best Lightning Lane strategy at Disney World?
A: That depends on the ages of the kids on the trip and what your family priorities are. I work with families to create a custom Lightning Lane strategy suited to their needs.
