The most common mistakes travelers make — from a travel advisor who books dozens of trips a year. I’ve seen it all, but these are the most common mistakes I see travelers making:

➡️ Packing way too much and then dealing with lugging heavy luggage all over the place

➡️ Skipping travel insurance because ‘nothing will happen‘ (until it does😬)

➡️ Booking connecting flights that leave you with just minutes to sprint between gates.

➡️ Choosing the cheapest deal and realizing they have the lowest room category and the worst flight option.

My job? To make sure that none of these happen to you.

I’ll guide you through everything from packing tips to insurance options, and the best way to maximize your vacation investment.

I’m all about getting you to that first cup of coffee as you listen to the waves and watch the sun sparkle over the ocean as seamlessly as possible.

Let’s make this your best travel year yet!

💡 Another reason enlisting the help of a Travel Advisor is vacation gold is because I will work to find you the best way for your larger family to stay on-site at Walt Disney World

🔹Is it more economical to split your crew into two rooms?
🔹Would staying in a larger Family Suite or Villa make the most sense for your family?

I am here to walk through the options with you, work with your vacation amenity needs, to find you the perfect place to rest your heads and call home.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What works best for your family? Do you prefer being cozy in one larger space or does everyone prefer heading off to their own room for the evening to decompress?

Get ready to uncover the wonders of a city that never sleeps. Can you guess which iconic urban jungle we're exploring today?

Home to the world's most famous skyline and a history as rich as its diverse neighborhoods, it’s a paradise for every type of traveler. With towering skyscrapers, secret speakeasies, and a melting pot of cultures, New York City offers a surprise around every corner.

Saying yes to everything 2025 has to offer:

✅ A spontaneous flight to somewhere unforgettable - YES

✅ Morning coffee watching the early morning sun over the ocean on a beautiful island - YES

✅ Learning to make pasta somewhere in the Tuscan hills - HECK YES!

2025 can and SHOULD be the year you say yes to more of the things you’ve always wanted to do and since my brain thinks in travel my mind immediately goes to hopping on planes and taking trips.

So this is me nudging you to say yes to travel too!

Whether that’s finally touching down in a destination you’ve always wanted to visit, taking a spontaneous trip to switch up the routine, or even just booking a cute hotel for a weekend trip.

Tell me in the comments, have you said yes to any trips this year yet? ⬇️

🚗 Does a traditional Lyft ride cost less than a Minnie Van? Yes.
📱 Can I order traditional Lyft rides from the app while in Disney? Yes.
💰 Should I splurge for a Minnie Van instead? Also, YES!

There may be times when you just need to get from Point A to Point B faster than the buses or water taxis can go.

There may be times when you just want a quiet ride all to yourselves.

There may be times when you just want to travel in style because you worked hard for this trip!

✨ Minnie Vans are super easy to order via the Lyft app, and your driver will be a Disney Cast Member with a wealth of knowledge, great stories, and typically some fun Disney tunes or videos playing. It’s a great way to feel like you have a personal “backstage pass” while you relax and get to your destination in style...and impeccable air conditioning.

➡️ Who has given a Minnie Van a shot?

The destination you didn’t know you needed on your radar for 2025 if you’re celebrating an anniversary, a big milestone, or want to get away on a romantic adventure, just because!

Now, Kauai. Let me just say — the Na Pali Coast isn’t just a backdrop for epic photos (though it is absolutely stunning). This island is for you if you’re into jaw-dropping hikes, laid-back beach days, and waterfalls so dreamy they’ll make your Instagram followers jealous.

I had a couple looking for adventure and romance (yes, you can totally have both). One day, they were kayaking along the Wailua River, and the next, they were enjoying a private picnic overlooking Hanalei Bay. Their verdict? “We’re never going back to cookie-cutter vacations.”

Here’s the thing: Kauai isn’t for the “been there, done that” crowd. It’s for the couples who want to skip the more touristy Hawaiian hotspots like Oahu or Maui and crave something unique, intimate, and unforgettable.

2025 is your year to shake things up!

Ready to start planning? Let’s chat—I’ve got ideas for days, whether it‘s Hawaii or somewhere else for your next adults only getaway.

🆓🏖️ In case you haven’t heard, guests staying at a Walt Disney World resort in 2025 will get FREE entry to a water park for their arrival day!

Fear not, it may be January and the temperatures may go back and forth a bit, but the water at Blizzard Beach is heated to a toasty 80 degrees all year long!

While it’s hard not to just drop your bags and hit the theme parks upon arrival, such a free and VALUABLE perk doesn’t come around very often.

If I can answer any questions for you about Blizzard Beach or the free water park visit on check-in day perk, drop them in the comments!

Sure, that other place in Orlando is pretty famous for their character interactions, BUT the Universal Orlando Resort also has a pretty strong character presence that many people don’t even know about.

You can get your Marvel fix and even dine with the likes of Captain America 🇺🇸 and Spider-Man 🕸️ while shopping for old-school comics in a legit comic book store.

Hang out in the swamp and meet Shrek and Fiona 👑 while laughing till it hurts 😂 at the Kung Fu Panda live show.

Be completely awestruck when you meet Optimus Prime and Bumblebee before you save the world from Decepticons.

Gru, Lucy, the girls, and of course the Minions 😄 can be found right by Lucy’s Bake Shop 🍪, where you DEFINITELY need to go for a cake pop.

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

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 river cruises in spring to prime spots during Europe’s summer festivals, 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.

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