One of my favorite clients is embracing one of the most underrated but very necessary travel hacks of all time!

It’s only January and he is already booked and counting down the days to his trip to Antarctica later this year.

What’s that travel hack I’m talking about? I’m talking about planning early.

Planning early doesn’t just save you money — it saves you all the stress of last-minute scrambling and gives you first dibs on all the best hotels, rooms, activities, and tours.

✅ You’ll Score the best prices, hands down: Whether it’s flights, accommodations, or activities, booking early means locking in better rates and availability.

✅ You’ll get what you want: From popular tours or pre/post arrival packages to extend your stay, the best experiences sell fast.

✅ Feel organized and excited: Mapping out your trips now means you’ll step into your vacation with the peace of mind knowing every detail is already taken care of.

My client is going to enjoy every minute in Antartica and all of the fun of counting down!

Want to be in countdown mode instead of scrambling mode too? Send me a message and let’s start mapping out your 2025 adventures.

2025, we’re ready for you! 🎊

Sitting here, reflecting with gratitude on an amazing 2024.

2024 was filled with so many great travel memories and family time, moments that pushed me out of my comfort zone like running into a bear while hiking and moments to celebrate like seeing my daughter graduate.

I’m especially grateful for all the wonderful connections I’ve made with clients and the chance to share my travel knowledge with the families and couples I booked.

As I look ahead to 2025, I’m feeling excited for all the adventures and opportunities to come.

This year, I’m focused on:

💡 Helping my clients with yet another year of fabulous Disney and Universal trips but also including an Antarctic Expedition and River Cruises!

🌍 Adding new pins to my personal travel map including Paris and London and possibly Japan.

📆 Save my client‘s time, make travel planning easy breezy, and help them make the most of those PTO days.

I‘m so excited to see where we’ll go together this year.

What destinations are on your radar for 2025?

Here’s the problem with booking the cheapest vacation package 👇

It feels like a win, right? Knowing you’re finally making those travel goals come true without breaking the bank.

But what happens when the cheapest package means arriving at your resort too late and losing one whole vacation day or includes the resort that’s a two-hour drive from the destination you want which will no doubt lead to a meltdown from the kids?

I recently helped one of my clients upgrade from a offsite basic resort room to an on property Moderate resort for just $40 a night more.

No, that’s not a typo.

It’s the difference between looking for what’s cheapest and looking for value.

A small tweak like when you decide to go on your getaway can result in money saved and so much more value added to your getaway.

It also helps to have someone with their eyes on offers and promotions that could match up with your trip, which is exactly what I do.

This year let’s make sure you get the most out of your vacation days.

The kind of trip that becomes the “humble brag” dinner table story for years to come ⬇️

When a young family of four first came to me, they were feeling overwhelmed with the planning process for their FIRST Disney trip. They didn’t know where to start, were worried about balancing everyone’s interests, and honestly just wanted to avoid the stress of endless Googling.

Cue me, stepping in because turning travel chaos into dream vacations? That’s my superpower. 💪✨

Together, we mapped out a trip so good that I was secretly hoping for an invite!

Think childhood dreams and magical wishes all tailored to their family, wishlist, and budget.

And the best part?

Hearing them say the trip was so perfect they wanted to book another one before they even left for home. Yep, mission accomplished.

If planning your next trip feels like a full-time job you didn’t sign up for, slide into my DMs. I’ll handle the stress, sprinkle in the magic, and you just show up for the memories.

Let’s make 2025 your year to travel like a pro. 🌍✨
