Before kids, maybe you were the one with the passport stamps. The summer abroad, the trip you still tell stories about. Now you have a job, a calendar that belongs to everyone else, and a family you really want to show the world to.
Every time you sit down to plan it, you end up with forty open tabs and a headache, so vacation turns into another holiday visit to family. Nothing wrong with that! But you deserve at least one trip a year that you pick because you actually want to go.
That is where I come in. You tell me what your family loves (and what they absolutely do not), and I take the planning off your plate.
These are the trips I plan most, plus Costa Rica and Belize for families who want a little more adventure. Have something else in mind? Ask me anyway.
All-Inclusive
Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Cabo and Mexico City. All-inclusives where the kids have somewhere to go and the grown-ups get a swim-up bar.
Island Time
Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Every island has its own personality, and I'll match you with the one that fits your crew.
Adventure
Costa Rica and Belize, for families who want a little more adventure with their beach time. Wildlife, rainforest, zip lines and snorkeling, balanced out with pool days.
Parks & Resorts
Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, with park days, dining and your resort picked around your kids' ages and how much walking everyone can handle.
Ocean & River
Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and more, plus river cruises. I help you choose the ship, the cabin and the sailing that fits your crew.
Culture & History
Italy, France, the UK, Germany and Croatia. I lived in Rome, so I have a soft spot for helping families see Europe at a pace that works with kids.
I'm a mom of three, bonus mom of one, full time pediatrician, avid reader and chicken tender. So yes, I know what it feels like to have a lot of balls in the air and still want to give your kids something amazing.
I became a travel advisor because I love to plan and I love to travel. Before kids I went on safari, saw Egypt and lived in Rome. Now I help families like yours get out there too.
I want you to feel like you're traveling with a close friend who knows what you want and wants you to have the most amazing time.
Your trip is built around your family, your dates and what you are comfortable investing.
Everything lives in my mobile itinerary app, so nobody is digging through emails at the airport.
The tours and restaurants worth your time, and a heads up on the ones that aren't.
Packing tips, travel hacks and the little details that make travel days with kids go smoother.
Picture the two of us on my deck with a cup of coffee, talking about where you want to go. That is how I want planning to feel. I ask a lot of questions and I listen a lot more than I talk, because the right trip for your family comes out of what you love, what you don't, and what the kids will still be talking about next year.
After we chat, I send you my thoughts in a detailed email. If you want to move forward, I put together a proposal with one to three options that fit, and once you pick, I book it and keep every detail in my mobile itinerary app so the whole trip is right in your pocket.
Grab a coffee and pick a time on my calendar. Tell me who's traveling and where you've been wanting to go, and we'll figure out the rest together.
