Take Your Own Trip

Take Your Own Trip I specialize in designing custom trips that meet your unique needs and budget. I want to help other families get out there and find new favorite destinations.

Take Your Own Trip comes from the idea that you should maximize experiences and not wait to take your dream vacation. Vacation planning can be overwhelming and I offer a personalized approach that you won't find on the internet. There are 1000's of websites that promise you the best trip, but I take the time to understand exactly what type of trip and expectations you have to create a vacation tha

t fits you. As a travel professional, I have access to resources around the world to ensure your trip goes smoothly from start to finish. This is not about the trip everyone else is taking, it is about what YOUR ideal trip is and how I can help you achieve it.

Sometimes it all comes together. ❄️ 🎿 Fresh snowfall,great mountain conditions and fabulous friends. This weekend was the answer to why we ski.

Pro Tip: pulling the kids out Thursday night and skiing Friday and Saturday were 💯 on a holiday weekend. And no traffic on the way home!

Greece or Croatia?

Both are sunny destinations known for their islands, clear blue water, abundant history and food & wine. I visited both last year and came away with very different perspectives than I went in with. I can’t visit everywhere I book clients and I have a great network of local experts, but there is nothing like experiencing a destination in person.

What’s the vibe? With kids or without kids? How easy is it to get around? What are the unique experiences?

🇬🇷 For instance, while Greece has all the hype of Mykonos and Santorini and being an international jet set destination, I actually found it to be more authentic and low key than I expected in a really good way. And everyone I met was so welcoming and proud of their country.

🇭🇷 Croatia has as much or more history as any European destination, but in cities like Dubrovnik and Split it has spent the last 10 years building up modern hotels and amenities that give it a very cosmopolitan feel. The people there are also amazing, but not as effusive as their Italian or Greek counterparts so you have to engage them.

Interested in either? Shoot me a DM, i’d love to chat. And then I will tell you about Slovenia…

New year, New experiences.

This year I signed up for a masters swim class to mix it up. I grew up with a pool and love water, but my last official swim instruction happened when I was about 10. I’ve never swam for exercise or on a team. This class is structured and so far I love it. It’s fun to learn something new and move my body in a different way. It’s also HARD.

What are you doing new this year?

Time to warm up the feed.

I have clients heading this week to Turks and Caicos to celebrate their 30th anniversary

With a location right on Grace Bay Beach, a fabulous pool and amazing food and service, it’s a win for couples, families and girls trips. I personally visited last year and still dream about that view from the balcony.

⛷️ Did anyone want to get up and go skiing at 8am this morning? NOPE
😫Did we all snap at each other as we were loading up the car? OF COURSE
🥶 Was it colder than we wanted it to be? YUP

❤️Was it still a fabulous day and my heart is full because it was the first day we could all ski together with everyone on the chairlift and cruising independently down the green hills? 💯

Just a reminder that not every moment of every outing is perfect and sometimes the best ones are the ones you have to push yourself to go do.

Aside from the rush of racing downhill on a giant icy mountain, Ski vacations are a vibe all their own. Besides the fabulousness of skiing, here are 7 reasons I love ski vacations as the ultimate winter trip.

☕️ Apres Ski - Think Hot Toddies, fuzzy sweaters and poutine.
🎿 Kids Ski School (which also equals adult only ski time)
⛄️ It’s perfectly acceptable to wear base layers everywhere.
🔥Hot Tubs, Hot chocolate and Hot Toddies
🏔️Fresh mountain air with mind blowing views
⛸️ Discovering other winter sports like ice skating, snowmobiling or X-country skiing
📚 Reading a book or doing a puzzle by a warm fire on a rest day.

If you’re looking for the right ski vacation, let me help. These vacations are best planned in advance as good on mountain accommodation fills up.

2023, you’ve been a wild ride. I meant to put a reel together with all of the highlights, but in keeping with the vibe of 2023, we decided to squeeze one last trip in. So here are candid pics from the Canadian Rockies instead.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me with their travels this year, building this business has given me the opportunity to bring my passions and talents together and create something I truly believe in. I sent 70 clients on trips to 20 different countries. It means so much to me to be a part of your journey- whether it be a honeymoon, a multigen trip or a family getaway.

In 2024, I urge you to Take Your Own Trip. Find what moves you and make it happen. And if you need help crafting that trip, give me a shout.

Happy New Year! Cheers to 2024!
