Specializing in Magical Families Vacations
I'm a New England gal with a large Disney heart!
Although I'm new to the travel industry, I'm not new to travel. My wanting to become a travel agent stems from my wanting to help others connect to places around the world, whether it's in my geography classroom or amongst my friends and family on their own expeditions.
Travel has been a part of who I am since 2011 where I studied abroad in Rome, Italy. From there, the travel bug bit (and bit hard!). I've been engaging with travel ever since! I've volunteered in Peru, backpacked Europe, taught in Thailand, and backpacked Southeast Asia and Australia.
But my magical home will always be Disney. Disney has had a hold on my heart for as long as I can remember. The sounds of music along Main Street at Magic Kingdom. The smells of churros wafting through the air. The exhilarating feeling of being launched alongside Aerosmith at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. The comfort of receiving a hug from your favorite characters. There truly is something special about Disney, and I love sharing all about it.
I'm usually a "Value Resort" kind of lady as being a full-time teacher usually means vacations during school breaks. I love what the Value Resorts offer for not just kids, but adults as well! This doesn't mean, however, that I don't like to add a touch of luxury now and then. Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is my absolute favorite resort. My favorite restaurants? Hands down Steakhouse 71 for breakfast and California Grill for dinner. Disney truly is for everyone, whether you're into thrilling rides, relaxing getaways, or you're a foodie. I'm here to make your magical dreams come true!
Trips I Love Planning
Living the dream at Machu Picchu
To me, being able to travel is about being able to try out new things. Each time I travel, whether it's to a familiar location or not, I always try to add a touch of new. I like giving that to myself as well as to others. To me, the best kinds of trips are where I'm looking for that unique experience.
I've traveled to 25 countries, so I consider myself quite affluent in the art of airport travel as well as broadening my horizons with new cultures and experience. Let me help you broaden your horizons as well and find the beauty in the unique and new.
