I have different types of both domestic and international travel experiences, including but not limited to adventure, small group, cruising, and all-inclusive.
The world is full of beautiful landscapes, interesting nature and wildlife, different ways of life and cultures, exciting adventures, and more! I love to learn about the environment and natural history of the areas I visit as I studied wildlife biology and natural resources in college. Cultural immersion through experiences, food, and talking with locals makes travel even more special and interesting.
I have been fortunate to have been able to travel since I was a baby. I got bit by the travel bug early in life and have been hooked ever since! There are endless beautiful places to see within the United States and territories - so if you don't have a passport, don't worry, I can still plan an amazing vacation for you! Internationally, I have been to 5 of the 7 continents. You can see some of those adventures in my additional bios and photo albums.
I am excited to either plan a tailor-made vacation or find a tour or cruise that fits your vacation wants best!

If you are as big of a Harry Potter fan as I am, the Universal Parks in Orlando are a must! In February 2022, my mom surprised me with a trip to Universal for my birthday - I was so excited!
Universal Endless Summer Resort, Dockside Inn and Suites had everything we wanted: elevators, breakfast options, a coffee shop in the lobby, and – best of all – a swimming pool to relax in after walking around the parks all day.
The 2-Park passes allowed us to take the Hogwarts Express between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Walking around Diagon Alley (Universal Studios) was an experience in itself. Visiting all the shops, experiencing the Ollivander’s Wand Shop, and sitting in the common area to listen to stories and concerts from the Wizarding World was a magical highlight. Nocturne Alley was spooky to walk through, I felt like it was real! Make sure to watch the light show on Hogwarts!
I love roller coasters, so the Express Pass was definitely worth it! Because of it, I was able to go on some rides multiple times. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorcycle Adventure was my favorite ride!! It’s exhilarating and even waiting in line is like traveling through the Hogwarts campus to Hagrid’s hut.
Universal Studios is set up like you’re traveling city to city. Los Angeles, London, and more! There are performances and concerts both on the street and inside buildings, characters you can meet and take pictures with, and lots of yummy food options!! Islands of Adventure is like a big loop as you travel between movie settings. The Jurassic Park area was so cool! I loved the water ride with the Jurassic World theme.
It was a great two days and I was able to see plenty of both parks in the two days.
