Get Your Travel Groove Back

Read Now

My year of travel was 2019. I was able to travel to Disney World several times for agent training and family trips. I spent spring break at Disneyland and Southern California exploring new adventures on the West Coast. I traveled to 11 different theme parks and even cruised with Disney Cruise Line. I took amazing vacations and by the end of the year I had traveling down to a science. I even knew all the crew at the Columbus airport and had favorite TSA agents!

Then, COVID hit. After not traveling anywhere for over a year I realized my travel rhythm was off. I had a hard time packing and everything in 2021 was different.

I learned some things struggling with a few trips. I hope my experiences and takeaways can help as you prepare for your next trip!

Here are some on my favorite things to do at Disney's Boardwalk:

What To Pack Before You Go to Iceland

Read Now

I just got back from an amazing week touring Iceland. I could tell you about all of the amazing things I did (climbing a glacier!) and saw (puffins flying everywhere), but I think it’s more important to be prepared. This is a country unlike any other and while you can expect to keep things pretty low maintenance, packing what you need is critical to really enjoy your time.

Why You Need a Travel Agent Now More Than Ever Before

Read Now

2020 is obviously a year none of us are likely to forget. Of course, we all have our own things that we are going to remember from this year, both on a personal level and a professional level. For me, as a travel planner, I’m not likely to forget the trips not planned and not taken. Both for myself and my clients. Families look forward to being together in a special place, a kids first visit to Disney World, a celebration. We’re all feeling that loss.

It’s become even more apparent that the need for a travel advisor is even greater as we all get ready to see the world again!
