Fourteen years ago today, I married my favorite travel companion. 💜💍

When I look back on our wedding day, I remember the sunshine, the laughter, and being surrounded by the people we love most. But what I treasure even more are all the memories we've created since then.

Over the past 14 years, we've explored incredible destinations, celebrated milestones, navigated unexpected detours, and collected stories we'll tell for years to come. Through every adventure, I've been reminded that the best journeys aren't just about where you go. They're about who you're sharing them with.

As a travel advisor, I spend my days helping others create those same kinds of memories with the people they love. Because long after the suitcases are unpacked, it's the moments, experiences, and connections that stay with us.

Happy Anniversary to my husband, Mike. 💜 Thank you for being my biggest supporter, my favorite adventure partner, and the person who still makes me laugh every single day.

Here's to 14 years of memories and many more adventures ahead. ✈️🌎✨

I convince people to hand over large sums of money so I can coordinate their escape from reality. 🤷‍♀️

When you put it that way, my job sounds a little suspicious.

In reality? I'm helping people trade deadlines for pool days, emails for ocean views, and everyday stress for memories they'll talk about for years.

Whether it's a theme park vacation, a cruise, or a tropical getaway, I'm the person behind the scenes making sure your escape plan comes together smoothly. 😎✈️🚢

So... who's ready to disappear for a little while?

🚨 Universal Orlando Resort vacations are now open for booking through April 2027! 🚨

I know 2027 might sound far away, but if you're already thinking about February break, April vacation, spring travel, or simply want the best selection of resorts and room types, now is the perfect time to start planning.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that planning a Universal vacation is as simple as booking a hotel and showing up.

That's where I come in. 😊

When you work with me, you're not just getting someone to make reservations. You're getting a partner who helps you:
✨ Choose the right resort for your priorities
✨ Understand ticket and Express Pass options
✨️ Deciding how many park days you need
✨ Create a park plan that makes sense for your family
✨ Stay informed about promotions and updates
✨ Save time researching so you can focus on the excitement

As someone who visits Universal regularly, I love helping clients navigate the options and feel confident about their vacation plans from start to finish.

If a February break or April vacation is on your radar, let's start the conversation now. The earlier we plan, the more options you'll have available!

📩 Send me a message and let's start building your Universal adventure.

Me today: PIVOT! 🛋️✈️
Also me: helping clients make travel changes without the Ross-level meltdown. If you know, you know. 😂

Today was one of those days where travel planning looked a lot like that iconic Friends scene. Not because anyone was carrying a couch up a staircase, but because I helped two different clients make changes to their trips so their vacations would better fit their needs.

And honestly? That's one of the biggest reasons having a travel advisor matters.

Travel plans aren't always one-size-fits-all. Priorities change. Schedules shift. Budgets evolve. Sometimes what sounded perfect six months ago doesn't make as much sense today.

Instead of feeling stuck, my clients had someone in their corner to help them evaluate options, adjust course, and make sure their vacation still works for them.

The goal isn't just booking a trip. The goal is making sure the trip fits your family, your travel style, and your expectations from start to finish.

So today's travel advisor word of the day was definitely: PIVOT. 😆

Have you ever had to make a last-minute change to a vacation that ended up working out even better than the original plan? Tell me about it below! ⬇️

You know where I won't be personally victimized by all this pollen? 🌿🤧

The stunning pink sand beach on Disney's Bahamian island, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. 🏝️☀️

Meanwhile, here at home, every surface is covered in a suspicious yellow dust, my car changes color daily, and stepping outside feels like accepting a challenge from Mother Nature herself.

So if anyone needs me, I'll be daydreaming about crystal clear water, soft sand, and sailing away with Disney Cruise Line instead of checking the pollen forecast every morning. 🚢✨

Tell me I'm not alone... is your car currently yellow, too? 😂

What does it actually look like to work with me as your travel advisor? ✈️

A lot of people assume I simply book vacations, but when you work with me, you're getting much more than a reservation.

You're investing in expertise, personalized recommendations, research, planning, organization, and support from a real person who knows your trip inside and out.

Before you ever pack a suitcase, I've spent time getting to know your travel style, narrowing down options, comparing choices, answering questions, and helping you avoid costly mistakes.

During the planning process, I'm tracking deadlines, coordinating details, and serving as your go-to resource when questions pop up. And if something unexpected happens, you have someone in your corner who can help navigate it.

Could you book a vacation yourself? Absolutely.
But just like many people hire professionals for things they could do on their own, my clients value having an expert guide them through the process and help create a trip that's the right fit for them.

At the end of the day, my service isn't about booking travel. It's about saving you time, reducing stress, and helping you make the most of your vacation investment. ✈️✨

When planning a trip, what's one thing that stresses you out the most? ⬇️⬇️

Travel Tip Tuesday: Florida Weather Plot Twist Edition ☀️🌧️

One minute you’re living your best sunny, blue-sky life… the next? You’re speed-walking in a poncho like it’s an Olympic sport. 😂

If you’re heading to Florida, especially during summer and hurricane season, expect a little bit of everything in a single day. Being prepared makes ALL the difference:

☀️ Start the day ready for sunshine
🌧️ Pack a poncho or lightweight rain jacket
☂️ Toss in a compact umbrella
🧦 Bring a change of socks (trust me on this one)
👟 Consider backup shoes if you can swing it

And here’s the pro move most people don’t think about 👇

🎢 Plan your rides strategically!
If afternoon storms are in the forecast (which they often are), prioritize outdoor attractions earlier in the day. Save indoor rides, shows, and dining for when the skies decide to open up.

A little planning = less stress, more magic ✨

💬 Tell me… are you team “I’ll risk it and hope for sunshine” or team “fully prepared with a park bag that could survive anything”?

06/02/2026

POV: You thought you were ready to ride "it's a small world" again... and then the song started. 😅

Some of my Disney friends absolutely LOVE this attraction. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a Disney classic. But I can confidently say I was NOT emotionally prepared for the song to take up permanent residence in my brain again. I'm over here calculating how many days it'll take before it leaves my head. 🎶

Let's hear it:

🚫 ANTI Small World

Officially home from Disney World... and currently filing a formal complaint that my daily view no longer includes Cinderella Castle. 🏰

You know the feeling. One minute you're walking down Main Street with a Joffrey's iced coffee in hand, and the next you're staring at a pile of laundry wondering why your house doesn't play Disney background music.

The Disney blues are definitely real today, but they're mixed with so much excitement after getting to experience all the new and refreshed offerings that just debuted this week! ✨ From updated experiences to all the fun of Cool Kid Summer, it was such a great visit and I can't wait to share everything I saw, loved, and learned.

Over the next few days, I'll be posting trip highlights, tips, photos, and honest thoughts to help you decide what should make your must-do list for your next vacation.

Now excuse me while I scroll through 847 Disney photos and start planning my next trip. 🏰💙

Who's already missing Disney with me today? 🙋‍♀️

05/27/2026

POV: my bank account may not understand Disney girl math… but my iced coffee budget is always protected. ☕️😂

Hot take: I’m choosing Joffrey's over Starbucks every single time.

There's just something about walking through the parks with a Shakin’ Jamaican iced coffee that feels like therapy. 🏰✨️

Tell me your Disney coffee order! 👀👇
