If your cruise includes a stop in Canada, there is one important detail that is often overlooked during the planning process… entry requirements. Even on a closed loop cruise, meaning you start and end in the same U.S. port , you are still required to meet Canadian entry requirements when the ship docks. This is one of those things that can catch travelers off guard, so I always like to walk through it ahead of time. Basic Entry Requirements Before traveling to Canada, you

When most people hear “Disney vacation,” they immediately think of the Parks. While I truly love all of the Disney Parks (you know I do), there is another side of Disney that not nearly enough people are talking about. It might actually be one of the most incredible ways to travel the world. I’m talking about Adventures by Disney. Many people ask what Adventures by Disney is and whether it is worth it. It is Disney’s guided travel experience that takes you to destinations aro

As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself feeling truly grateful. Grateful for the trips planned, the memories made, and especially for the people who trusted me with something so meaningful, their time together. This year was filled with travel that mattered. From magical theme park vacations and relaxing beach getaways to milestone celebrations, cruises, and long dreamed of adventures, every trip had a story behind it.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I’ve been reflecting on how thankful I am for the people who invite me into such a special part of their lives. Planning travel isn’t just something I do — it’s something I care deeply about. Every family, every couple, every group, every story… they all stay with me. This time of year, always reminds me that the real gift of travel isn’t the destination — it’s the connection. It’s grandparents watching their grandkids light up at Disneyland. It’s

It’s so tempting to click that shiny “limited-time offer” or “lowest price guaranteed” button — we’ve all been there! But as someone who spends every day helping people plan their vacations, I often see what happens after  that click… and it’s not always the dream trip travelers hoped for. Online booking sites make things look simple, but behind the scenes, there’s so much they don’t tell you. Before you hit “book now,” here are a few things I truly wish every traveler knew.
