Book It—Because the World Is Waiting
“Book it” is a mantra in our home—whether it’s a spontaneous weekend getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, why not make it happen? The world is vast, beautiful, and brimming with experiences waiting to unfold.
My love for travel was ignited when I moved 3,000 miles from California to Massachusetts for college. I knew I was going far from home, but I hadn’t anticipated just how different the East Coast would feel from the West. That experience opened my eyes to the richness of exploring new places, a passion I began to pursue not only within my own country but also internationally. Each destination offered a new perspective, a deeper appreciation for culture, and an ever-growing sense of curiosity. But it wasn’t until I became a mother that travel became something even more meaningful. It wasn’t just about exploration; it was about transformation.
I quickly learned that travel is one of the most powerful ways to shape young minds and deepen relationships. From the confidence my children gained rolling their own luggage through an airport to the wonder in their eyes as they experienced the world firsthand, each journey became an education beyond what any classroom could provide. But it wasn’t just my children who grew—it was all of us. Travel fosters connection in a way nothing else can. Whether it’s feeling the exhilaration of riding quads through the lush terrain of Kauai, gathering for a slow, sun-drenched Italian dinner under the stars, or taking in the breathtaking vistas of a new destination, these shared experiences become woven into the fabric of who we are.
Ironically, when I’m not traveling, I’m the ultimate homebody—happily watching college football, enjoying long summer days on the lake with friends and family, and dreaming up the next adventure. And as I stand on the cusp of an empty nest, I’m more passionate than ever about helping others craft journeys filled with wonder, discovery, and those moments of pure magic that linger long after the trip is over. With a keen eye for detail, I ensure every itinerary is thoughtfully curated, balancing seamless logistics with unforgettable moments.
Because travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about the stories you collect, the people you meet, and the bonds that grow stronger with every shared experience. So, let’s book it. The world is waiting.
